Thank you. I was actually looking to run the node with the wallet disabled. Any quick ideas on how that could be done (in the future)? I'm still digging through code, this seems to be the key piece:             pwalletMain->AddCScript(witscript);

There is a plan to implement segwit support in the wallet for Bitcoin Core 0.15.1. The current plan is to just have it essentially do `addwitnessaddress` for all new addresses and give out those segwit addresses.

Does the 'addwitnessaddress' need to be specified and if so how?

@Peter `addwitnessaddress` is a command, not something that is specified.

The wallet does not know how to sign for segwit stuff until you use `addwitnessaddress`. This is because it is only tracking the P2PKH outputs for that key. You have to explicitly tell it to track the witness outputs for the key by using `addwitnessaddress`.
