I think Lutpin have finally decided and changed the schedule adjustment to 2 weeks per round, so you have to wait him check your application guys and wait for his confirmation and announcement.
That's correct, we are doing bi-weekly rounds as a standard now.
I'm also considering to switch over to a segwit address, however, the current setup for escrows (Electrum) only allows bech32 addresses.
This could cause problems if eg some of you receive campaign payouts to Coinbase (or a similar service), as afaik they still dont credit deposits sent from bech32 addresses.
If we do make the switch, I'll announce it a round before so you can update your addresses if you want to.
I use Bitcoin Core and as far as I know they will not support it until May. But if it is optional, I fully support the idea.
