Since the SW is activated, how can a user now send a SW transaction?
E.g., I'm using an Electrum wallet, a BitPie wallet, and have a qt full node, and sometimes I also send from/to an exchange or shapeshift.
That whether a transaction is SW or not, depends on the sending address, receiving address, or both? How can I create a SW transaction to lower the fee?
Ledger has supported Segwit recently.
Bitcoin Core is another option but you can only do so using CLI at the moment.
Electrum dev said on github that next version will be released soon letting you create and send segwit addresses.
IMO, most major wallets are ready for segwit. They just didn't let you do so before Segwit finally activated.
wow! when i just saw andre antonopolos tweet about paying a contractor with segwit i decided to take a look at this forum, didnt now ledger starting supporting a segwit txs, that is awesome!!
