In addition, there has been a page up for several months (https://bitcoincore.org/en/segwit_adoption/) that gauges whether or not wallets are ready for SegWit. Unfortunately, it appears that the page hasn't been updated since May. I do know that several wallets have finished or are close to finishing their support, though. Would I want anyone to lose money due to faulty wallets? Of course not. By the same token, devs have had almost a year to tinker with SegWit and make sure the wallet isn't so poorly written that it'll flame out when SegWit comes along. It's not like this is some untested, mostly unknown feature that's being slipped out at the last minute, unlike other features I could name but won't. :) --=20 --- Douglas Roark Cryptocurrency, network security, travel, and art. https://onename.com/droark joroark@vt.edu PGP key ID: 26623924 --Ma2J567GI6FEpNhjntlW90AR6W5v819Wl-- --9b8bgSx0K8MHugXqsfI8SMUocIWopeNGG Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: OpenPGP digital signature Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Comment: GPGTools - https://gpgtools.org iQIcBAEBCgAGBQJYA686AAoJEEOBHRomYjkkHwgP/3/0EDDIUagqFHp9K9ZaROGX 2VuBVB5BYhgwwsaVLvjlJoi0ljkWQ5e91QWPe3bi4Ul+t6C4ENt/Ppr2ZjRHmjMk wYt8o9AwdR/IFeWlnKlDQ0pHNFBm10Pq1Oyd/qNjXY4Z0q5qAqW3+n1Dtm1Z/2xw /XTi8JtGGFv+oGNo3aVRl/NQJQ8JZRsJwUMa5bstK6zV+fIBDiA7z7WEkSy9w/VQ kTwAsWUoCaAR6agDDhpN0OlGHl+MZmtpGep8MaPNIDKD7RRA3x69K9YeRHI46nqY WrCCKSYRRkcTrD7VB+mFcfqrvxIyoAXgKPAKvAF4Y4ld0rjPKntUOxPnJv296nu5 18LKCms7TBIUqEyWZDsOGnoKXfOwqFJlqun0wjVTjl8zU8r0oUrGEcQD+Gz2/89g yS0GVNJ/I5MbgGpVrMxaYg4Ad4aIMC3b8IY5MncMg0kQeGzgFrGb6A2tp4YfmA3/ PT17C0EWSOoXrXHxDgEdrZH9xbgX1Lm8IJg5WTYVAUHjEC0Hvrl7YEQGtJC4z3e3 OyjlxvdGmY5CSrT9+frUIOIH1TZRpBG+uJJuT5JxPoWCht0TTq0/MyWnFgTF6sn8 2pqxZBkIBWQMbpSGB218KQyhodohjZoKIMp5Sh+Ap+ba/YjtaEaFzYi28NBOUaJT VKLtgM40uK8OvcUKGRNa =+Z3E -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --9b8bgSx0K8MHugXqsfI8SMUocIWopeNGG--
