Also, i think it would be better if you use the Signature to encourage SegWit adoption as well.


Use SegWit and enjoy lower fees

Thanks for wearing one of the most awesome signatures yet seen on this forum.


I'm a huge fan of SegWit adoption, and if the challenge gains more attraction, I will definitely include a clause that requires all participants to use a SegWit address.

Unfortunately, there is no way to tell whether or not a P2SH “3” address is Segwit-nested.  Perhaps you may push specifically for what I call “Bravo Charlie addresses”.  Although that could be a bit inconvenient for some of us who are using nested addresses for the transition period, I think it is important to raise user awareness about the Bitcoin address format of the future.  Many people do not yet understand Bech32; see also the advertisement at the top of my recent post on the topic.  (Far from my first post on the topic.)

I'll also see about including a line about SegWit in the signatures for future iterations of the design.

Good idea.  I’ve squeezed in a plug for Segwit next to my current link for this campaign, since that displaced my usual sort-of self-serving Segwit advertisement:

Keeping those addresses in my signature has brought me infinitely more inquiries than tips.  Vanitygen users PM to ask, “How did you do that?”  And I do enjoy showing off a “3” address which is specifically labelled as “segwit”!


Of course he isn't infallible, only Satoshi is  Grin

Besides it would be so funny if nullius =lauda=atriz=alia=thermos (yes I did say thermos)=satoshi=me loses this one, contrary to what most expect that it needs some extra prize. Cheesy
And his merit history for March isn't that impressive.... so.... race on!
