-  * Segwit support:
-    - P2SH-segwit scripts are supported and can be used with hardware
-      wallets. To create a segwit wallet, trezor/ledger users will
-      need to provide a BIP49 derivation path.
-    - Native segwit scripts are supported with Electrum software
-      wallets, using a new type of seed. Segwit seeds have version
-      0x100. Note that the wizard will not create Segwit seeds by
-      default; users must opt-in with the segwit option.

     - Native segwit scripts are represented using bech32 addresses,
       following BIP173. Please note that BIP173 is still in draft
       status, and that other wallets/websites may not support
       it. Thus, you should keep a non-segwit wallet in order to be
       able to receive bitcoins during the transition period. If BIP173
