   Annoyed with tx fees, I'm looking at Android wallets with #segwit.

   Sounds like its Electrum for now.
   
   - Samourai is alpha-sounding.
   - Greenbits is some multisig online service hybrid wallet thing.

      @clacke I paid a hundred bucks to get a transaction unstuck, the other day.

      So I installed #electrum on my phone and it turns out that #segwit on Electrum means #bech32. So who supports bech32? Basically nobody. Not Shapeshift, not localbitcoins, etc.
      
      So I ended up installing #samourai as well, sending funds to the 3* address of the Samourai wallet, then just sending them further on to the bc1* address of the Electrum wallet.
      
      I could have derived and swept the private key to skip one step, but I think the hassle for that would have been costlier than the tx fee.
      
      But now I have paid my VPS bills promptly and without paying tx fees higher than the bill! :-)
      
      Electrum defaults to being super careful with the default fee though, i.e. setting it high, so I had to set it manually.

         Ah, so things are actually shaping up now.
         
         No bech32 support yet, but several exchanges are using SegWit to send txes, and several of them support sending to multiple recipients in one tx ("batching").
         
         Note: When this page says Electrum supports pay-to-many/multiple-recipients/batching, it is talking about desktop Electrum. I haven't seen that it's possible to do in any mobile wallet.
