<p>When you send your coins to bech32 addresses, the fees will not be smaller. However the fees will be smaller when you spend from those bech32 addresses.</p>

Would migrating my coins to a segwit (bc1) address reduce my fees as I send them out?

(Asked by: username_0 on 2017-11-06)

Currently fees are a bit ridiculous when sending from mycelium. I'm thinking of migrating all my coins to electrum 3 as a segwit (bc1) address. Then, would my fees be smaller? And if I exclusively use electrum 3, would I be able to send my coins to legacy addresses (1...) without any issues?

When you send your coins to bech32 addresses, the fees will not be smaller. However the fees will be smaller when you spend from those bech32 addresses.
