Re: About possibility to Sign messages in Segwit address in future
Yesterday I added my signed message to the Tomatocage's thread for stacking bitcoin addresses, but then I realize that I cannot verify it online, only in my wallet, and deleted my post. No point to post it if it cannot be verified online.
So thankfully found this thread and I know why. Almost no info in Google tho.
Seems that the SegWit addresses cannot be used to sing messages at the moment, even if you have this feature in the wallet.
I guess I have to create a normal address only to verify my account here.

I agree with you, no reason to sign messages from segwit using electrum if it cannot be verified and if it's non standard. Your signature would be worthless.
You can download some mobile wallet such as coinomi and sign a message from there, much better to protect your account and done in 5 minutes.
Offtopic: This was one of my firsts posts in bitcointalk. Thanks to this issue I had when recovering some byteballs (which requires signing messages) I discovered how good this forum is. Pretty happy to see it's still useful
