SegWit addresses don't safe on fees when receiving transactions, the savings happen when you make a payment from a SegWit address.
When sending to a P2PKH the pk_script is:
Code:
OP_DUP OP_HASH160 Size PubKey_hash OP_EQUALVERIFY OP_CHECKSIG
bytes: 1 + 1 + 1 + 20 + 1 + 1 = 25When sending to a Bech32 address the pk_script is:
Code:
OP_0 Size PubKey_hash
bytes: 1 +1 + 20 = 22paying ~58 people with Bech32 means 174 bytes smaller
Loyce is referring to the legacy address that pays us from DarkStar_. That's why the fee won't fall due directly to it being bech32.
Also @DarkStar_ do you know if you can convert your address with the 1Chip in it to a bech address or a non-native segwit address and then it won't have too many issues if people pay to exchanges (as most exchanges don't support native segwit).
