Anybody knows how to send a Segwit BTC transaction ? Do we need to have a specific wallet for this?

No, Most probably, All transaction made on block greater than 480824 is already in Segwit effect.

Give this a read... I think it would apply to most other wallets also

...After your done reading
and once your wallet has segwit address move your coins to there and you can take advantage of the higher block limits.

Hi, I don't really understand since i am a newbie here that is seeking and learning bitcoin related things. I ha ve a question. What do you mean by Segwit-Activated- Wallet? What does it mean? that i should use and create another wallet that is segwit-activated? and what does that mean that i've read on coindance that the revolution will not be centralized? Thank you sir.

You generally don't need to change anything.

Segwit uses a new type of address and all wallets over the coming days-weeks should begin to enable them.

So when you click on receive, it should give you the new segwit address to use. Every wallet has a different schedule when they will enable the function but it will most likely be a seamless transition for most users. You will not be able to send a segwit transaction until you have coins parked in a segwit address, so once you can get a segwit address just move your coins over to it. Then you won't be fighting for space in the blocks with other users sending legacy transactions.

he means a wallet that supports SegWit keys and can make a SegWit transaction.
SegWit is activated and the bitcoin network is now accepting these transactions, but you have to make them. and for that you can't use old version of wallets.

I like this segwit going, hope this will end the congestion in the blockchain and make our transaction faster and lower fees.

Thanks for posting.

For others, I did a little bit of reading on Segwit. Segwit transactions need to be from segwit addresses for them to be included, the software is compatible with older versions that use legacy address. So it will take sometime for everyone to update and start making segwit transactions that allow for the larger block sizes. The wait is killing me to see a "big block" aughh

My first segregated witness transaction was included in block 481827

The no. of transactions are almost the same as non-Segwit block. I thought that transactions will double by the time we have Segwit.

Another funny thing is Antpool mined an empty block right after it. How can that be with the mempool having 30,000 unconfirmed transactions?

Will segwit bring more transactions for each block? why the new block found out has the same transactions as old ones?

I do not see any big improvements yet but the unconfirmed transactions in the mempool is growing smaller and smaller. Let us see if the small increase in transactions per block would help get those transactions faster.

The BitcoinCash people are proud that it took only 3 blocks to confirm all 37,000 transactions in their mempool.

Activation.

lol. it looks like block explorers are having some trouble keeping up with the upgrade. surprisingly, blockchain.info is leading the pack in successfully dealing with segwit: https://twitter.com/petertoddbtc/status/900541884564742146

fortunately, the network seems to be functioning properly and any soft fork activation FUD has now been surpassed. no sign of any chain splits that i can see. onwards and upwards! now we just need to deal with this pesky bitcoin cash matter, and well, the segwit2x matter, and we can be done with it.

so what will happen after segwit activated ? I still didn't understand Sad

A lot of benefits, including the Lightning Network and transaction malleability fix. Google is your friend.
