  • mempool

    Explore the full Bitcoin ecosystem with mempool.space, or self-host your own instance with one-click installation on popular Raspberry Pi fullnode distros including Umbrel, Raspiblitz, Start9, and more!

  • That's true, it's about 26% cheaper to use segwit, but is it worth? Check mempool.space to see blocks are not full, you're able to send transaction for the minimum amount. There is something shady with all these types of addresses, that's why I'm asking if it's not more important the security of your coins compared with a 26% fee eficiency.

  • coinbin

    Javascript Bitcoin Wallet. Supports Multisig, Stealth, HD, SegWit, Bech32, Time Locked Addresses, RBF and more!

  • Electrum does a good job both mobile and desktop version, it does not give you the option to generate uncompressed addresses but you can import and use them without any problems. For long term storage I use coinb.in on an offline phone to generate addresses, sign and build transactions.

  • SurveyJS

    Open-Source JSON Form Builder to Create Dynamic Forms Right in Your App. With SurveyJS form UI libraries, you can build and style forms in a fully-integrated drag & drop form builder, render them in your JS app, and store form submission data in any backend, inc.
