Re: Campaign managers, time to use Segwit and require your posters to use it too
I have been doing a little research on signature campaign payments, which are always small, and I have seen that some campaign managers have been delaying payments because the fees are too high.
I believe this is a good time to start using Segwit enabled wallets to help lower the fees and to make transactions confirm faster.
Stop using Blockchain.info and start using Green Address, https://greenaddress.it/en/. It has Segwit enabled.
For Electrum users you can create a new Segwit wallet with the more accepted "3 addresses" by using the instructions below.
For mobile wallets, use Samourai wallet. They have a working Alpha.

Generate a BIP39, 12 words seed on https://iancoleman.io/bip39/, you can also use it offline for more security.
On electrum choose, create new wallet, I already have a seed, then on "options" choose BIP39, paste the seed then click next.
On derivation path path use: m/49'/0'/0'/0

I too believe the same and already started using an segwit enabled Electrum wallet. I have already generated an address which starts with "bc1". However, whenever I am trying to use my coinbase wallet to send funds to that segwit enabled wallet, it is not recognizing the segwit address as a valid one. So coinbase is not allowing me to send funds to that address. Any solution can you provide? Needless to say, but I am facing the same issue blockchain wallet as well.
It's coinbase fault, they don't have support over SegWit address, especially SegWit Bech32
