I also added Coinbase and GDAX as they have already deployed SegWit enabled wallets to some of their customers, and claiming full support by mid next week.

I can't imagine a bigger catalyst in SegWit adoption than these two big players in the crypto scene.

Bitfinex has added SegWit support. They announced it on twitter and their official blog:
https://medium.com/bitfinex/bitfinex-adopts-segwit-8e6c5d72fcf9
This is great news as Bitfinex is a world leader when it comes to Bitcoin trading volume and probably has a noticeable weight in transaction count, too.

I have no news regarding SegWit adoption by third parties. But i can't either check that on a daily basis, so i would thank any contribution in this matter.
The only recent piece of news regarding SegWit is that a series of blocks over 2 Mb in size were recently mined thanks to SegWit and tx batching from BitGo, and SegWit usage has also recently peaked at 20%.

I'm not sure why a tutorial wound be needed just to move funds to a SegWit address. One just need to create one with a SW supporting wallet (Electrum, Trezor etc) and transfer funds to it. Now it's an excellent moment to consolidate UTXOs in a single address thanks to the current low fees (tx with a fee about 5-10 sat/B are being processed right now) thus reducing future fees when moving these funds. Here's a quick tutorial:

Excellent topic and the list. I think the thread should be sticky. I will apply to a moderator to make this one sticky. We need to move to segwit to resolve the fees and network slowness related issues. I have seen campaign managers have already started accepting segwit addresses. Good work. One merit for you.
Just one suggestion, can you please create another thread or update this one with a tutorial on how to transfer from non-segwit to segwit wallet or vice versa? That would be helpful for a lot of newbies.

Hi, any more updates on this?
Excellent topic, you might also update the original post with information on what people should do to help the adoption of this new (August is actually old in terms of crypto...) protocol, something like:
- send a message to the support of your exchange asking them about Segwit implementation
- switch to a wallet that supports Segwit
and so on, you might think of more.
I am sending messages to the support of all the exchanges I am using, everybody should do the same.

Add Edge, BitWallet, Samourai, and GreenBits to the wallets list. And add Shapeshift and Quadrigacx on the the exchanges list.
Done. Thank you so much for the updated information. I've also added two recent SegWit announcements from Localbitcoins and BTC.com. And also added Oulay's suggestion about showing the date of the last update.

Maybe edit the original post every now and then and add "last time updated xx-xx-xxxx" to the title?
I found this list on Bitcoin Core website: https://bitcoincore.org/en/segwit_adoption/ and I'm a bit confused by the status of Segwit adoption.
For example, in your list Samourai Wallet does not appear, while the Bitcoin Core list considers it as "deployed".
BTW, does anyone know what "ready" on Bitcoin Core list means? Ledger, Trezor and Samourai are the only ones considered to have deployed Segwit.

Ledger Nano S
Trezor
Trezor
You all really need to buy one of those wallets, probably this is the most easiest way to protect your coins, it is not only on the safety, they are accepting segwit too.
Anyway, i tried the Ledger Nano a few months ago, it works fine, and the fees are reliable.
A few days ago i opened it, and the fees were aproximately 3/4 of the actual fees from the network, if they were 30, you needed to pay 20 bucks.
The trezor is almost the same, only that the interface and the design are a little bit outdated.
Been looking for that information, thanks for posting mate
Added Bitwala & CoinGate. If you know any other service or wallet supporting SegWit feel free to post here and I will update the list.
I'm curious, what is the significance of using a wallet that is supporting segwit?
Will it have additional features?
Will my old private keys work on it?
Pardon the ignorance, I haven't really invested time in reading and knowing segwit.

1.) You can use segwit features if recepient address is also implementing segwit
2.) Not right now (as far as additional features go), but they may in the future. What segwit does at the moment is basically fit more transactions in blocks by segregating witness (segwit stands for Segregated Witness) data from the rest of the transaction.
3.) Nope.
Segwit is number two in a nutshell, but it may be too technical for most users. Try googling "Segwit ELI5" if you want a simplified explanation. Other internet resources could also explain it far better than I could. You should really take the time to try to understand it as it's basically where we're headed.
Added Flyp.me and Bitpanda exchanges, which recently added SegWit support.
Finally Electrum 3.0 was released with full SegWit support including bech32 address format. However, as BIP173 is still in draft phase, and changes could be introduced which could lead to compatibility issues, they advise using them cautiously.

those who are unaware that the Bech32 address format (the original format for the SegWit address) have been merged into the bitcoin center
this probably means to generate and use the original address segwit from within its core. Using this address has a number of advantages. For some numbers, they have sound errors and built-in instructions, optimized for easy reading,

Wallet for Bech32 does not exist at this time. But this is a step further in the right direction.

For those who didn't notice, finally Bech32 address format (the native format for SegWit addresses) has been merged into bitcoin core.
What this means is that from now on it is possible to generate and use native segwit addresses from within core. Using these addresses have a number of advantages. To number some, they have error correction and hinting built-in, are optimized to be human readable, and using them takes less bytes on the blockchain (thus lowering fees even more) when compared with segwit P2SH wrapped addresses (those starting with 3...).
Wallet support for Bech32 is non-existent right now. But this is a step further in the right direction.

HitBTC added SegWit support for deposits and withdrawals.
https://blog.hitbtc.com/segwit-announcement/
They claim to be the first exchange in doing so, but to be honest Bitstamp added support shortly after segwit activation.

I also added Armory, which enabled SegWit support since 0.96.2 release, you only need to be connected to a SW-enabled node for it to work, otherwise the SegWit wallet option would be greyed out.
