Segwit suppott

[elichai]

Hi,
Segwit2x and UASF are coming soon.

Are you planning on adding support for segwit? Any ETA on that?

@elichai That depends on whether they have a patched bitcoin version available or not: https://github.com/bitpay/bitcoin

However it seems since at least one of the main devs for this project left bitpay, this project is near death. Or at least it takes some time to revive.

Bump, SegWit has been active for a while now, more and more people and services are using it as time goes on. I expect that in 1 year more than 50% of transactions will involve SegWit addresses. Bitcoin Core's next release (0.16.0) will most likely generate SegWit addresses by default on the wallet. This issue could become quite severe if this can't fully validate SegWit transactions when most people are using them.
