Finally BitGo enabled SegWit support, which should boost adoption among their institutional customers, such as Kraken, OKCoin, BitBay etc.

Definitely good news for SegWit adoption. Usage is now about 2.4% of the total no. of transactions.
Topic: List of wallets/services supporting SegWit - page 2. (Read 966 times)
Hi there. I've been looking for a list of wallets and online services supporting SegWit transactions and couldn't find one, so I decided to start this thread in order to collect them.
AFAIK these are the only services that have a working implementation of segwit at the time of writing this.

Seems BitGo was the originator of a bunch of segwit transactions that conformed the two recently mined 1.3 MB blocks, paying a ridiculous 2 sat/B fee BTW.

I stumbled accross your topic, and I knew I read a website about this a few days ago. Did a quick google search, and what seems to be the case? There is already a list of companies that have intergrated SegWit. It's on the website of Bitcoin Core: https://bitcoincore.org/en/segwit_adoption/
I think this will help you out?
Thank you so much for the link provided. The problem with that list is that many of the services marked as 'Ready' for segwit (such as Electrum) do not have it activated. This is why I want to know with which services you can use segwit transactions right now. I think this will help you out?
Nevertheless that list is a great source of information. Thanks again!

Apart from P2SH-nested SegWit addresses (those starting with 3...) native segwit addresses have already been implemented on BIP173 using the new 'bech32' address format (starting with 'bc1...').
These have the advantage of removing the overhead associated with P2SH addresses (which is just a temporary solution for SegWit aimed at backwards compatibility). Using bech32 addresses, transactions are even lighter as this saves about 10% more space when compared to a legacy address usage. However, bech32 support is just testimonial right now (i think just bitcoin-qt can use them, perhaps someone know other?).
A single private key can theoretically be associated to a legacy address (1...), a SegWit P2SH address (3...) and a segwit Bech32 address (bc1...) all at the same time, provided you have the right software to generate such addresses.

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.

To actually be able to create SegWit transactions, you first have to move your coins to a SegWit (P2SH) address. Those start with a "3", like multi-sig addresses, and being separate addresses will have private keys of their own (although with hardware wallets / deterministic wallets your seed will stay the same).
SegWit transactions will enable you to send transaction for lower fees, compared to legacy transactions. Further down the road it will be also enable you to use 2nd Layer solutions such as Lightning Network, bringing down transaction fees even more.

@OP, bitcoin unlimited and bitcoinABC probably support it as they are based on the source of bitcoin core and I see no reason for them to remove that code.

Nope. Bitcoin unlimited and BitcoinABC got forked with the main purpose of removing SegWit, so those wallets definitely don't support it.

As far as I understand it they have the same private keys or a segwit address key is based on the regular lety.
It's basically the same address but begins with a 3 instead of a 1 from what I understand.
Addresses with a 3 in them have existed quite long before segwits activation though.
It'll be a much lower fee that gets used to sign the transaction (until it goes more mainstream).

Software wallets:
Despite being ready for SegWit, some services have yet to enable it for public releases, which should take just a few days once the next version iteration goes live. This is the case with Electrum, OpenBazaar, BitGo etc. However, the purpose of this list is locating services where you can make segwit transactions right now, thus benefiting from the lower transaction fees.
Feel free to post news regarding services and wallets with a working SegWit implementation so that anyone can easily locate and use these services, thus also helping to broaden SegWit adoption.
Thanks for reading.
