The meme pool is clearing and transactions are becoming way cheaper to send. I just sent a simple 1input/1output tx that was @200 bytes for about 45 cents.
Now is the time to collect up all your dust in wallets and combine them into one adddy, preferably a segwit address.
Did you know you can use an existing electrum seed to generate a segwit wallet? I used a wallet that had zero BTC. The process is simple. Go to
"new"
then select
"next: (name it something like the "segwit")
then select
"standard wallet"
then select
"I already have a seed" .
Enter the seed, but then select
"options"
Select
"Bip 39"
then for derivation path put
m/49'/0'/0'
Then you'll have segwit addresses that start with a "3" these addresses can send to legacy addresses or to Bech32 (no one is really using bech32 yet, but electrum will generate those)
A segwit transaction is:
segwit address to segwit address
or segwit to legacy
However legacy to segwit IS NOT a segwit tx and you will not benifit from the savings. Segwit txs are smaller so you'll pay less fees AND you won't clog up the memepool.
When i try and send it to my segwit address from another bitcoin address it says address not comparable or something like that.
