Just saw that this has been released, is it still in the test / beta stage or is it ready for use?

Just to add more information to the post above from bitcryptex, the official website is https://electrum.org

There are many fake websites,so be careful.

Is there a post somewhere why Electrum does not allow easy usage or creation of a wallet that uses Legacy compatible segwit addresses? The ones that start with 3, instead of bc1q.

It seems they want to force people to use the native segwit address format, and only have the old legacy non-segwit as an option (the ones that start with 1).

I figure there should be an option to use the addresses that start with 3, even if it was buried somewhere.

Currently I just use Core for that, because some people still use services or exchanges or wallets that don't understand the native segwit format, so yes, those are outdated services ...

Awesome, thanks mate. I did manage to figure out something before your reply, something to do with generating those "Extended Private Keys" ... and ...

I get it now, it has to be BIP49 something...
