According to Transactionfee.info, the percentage of payments made by Segwit recently reached 48.72 percent, the highest level on record, ambcrypto reported. It is reported that transactions that cost one or more SegWit outputs are considered SegWit transactions. By summarizing payments for daily SegWit transactions and comparing them to the total amount paid per day, you can derive the percentage of SegWit expense payments.
As mentioned earlier, because electrum light wallets are different from Bitcoin light wallets such as MultiBit or Breadwallet, they cannot communicate directly with bitcoin full nodes and can only communicate with electrum.
As mentioned earlier, witnesses are optional. This means that if you are running a non-segwit or legacy node, you can delete/not download the Witness Trie represented by green in the figure. This is done to ensure that Segwit is backward compatible, so it is a soft fork.

In a recent announcement on Twitter, Electrum advised users to disable the automatic connection option and manually select a server, while the company is developing a more powerful Electrum.

Electrum Personal Servers (EPS) do not perform as well as ElectrumX or Electrs, but are easier to set up and connect to Bitcoin nodes, making them a good choice for those interested in installing private Electrum servers. Compared to fully indexed ElectrumX or Esplora instances, it is less hardware-demanding and therefore can run on normal devices.
According to Reddit user u/normal_rc, electrum's wallet was hacked and nearly 250 bitcoins (243.6 BTCs, nearly $1 million) were maliciously stolen, according to coinelegraph. Electrum then confirmed that the attack included creating a fake version of the wallet to trick users into providing password information. Electrum responded on Twitter that "this is a persistent phishing attack on Electrum users" and warned users not to download Electrum from any source other than the official website.
Bitcoin Wallet Electrum confirms a phishing attack against its users, reminding them not to download Electrum Wallet software from any channel other than the official website. Earlier media reports said Electrum users had maliciously stolen millions of dollars worth of cryptocurrencies. Hackers create Electrum wallet software with malicious code, induce users to download, and trick users into providing login information such as passwords to commit theft.
Planet Daily News Electrum is a world-renowned Bitcoin light wallet with a long history of supporting multi-signatures and a very broad user base, many of which like to use Electrum as a cold wallet or multi-sign wallet for Bitcoin or even USDT (Omni). Based on this usage scenario, Electrum is used less frequently on the user's computer. The current version of Electrum is 3.3.8, and previous versions of 3.3.4 are known to have a "message flaw" that allows an attacker to send an "update prompt" through a malicious ElectrumX server. This "update tip" is very confusing for the user, and if you follow the prompt to download the so-called new version of Electrum, you may get a trick. According to user feedback, because of this attack, stolen bitcoins are in the four digits or more.

Sending BCH to a regular BTC address is unfortunate, but not always fatal. What happens when Bitcoin cash is sent to a Segwit Bitcoin address? This is when things get complicated. Legacy Bitcoin addresses start at 1, while Segwit addresses usually start at 3. (There are Segwit addresses starting with bc1, but we'll ignore them now.) The problem is that although Segwit's address starts with 3, not all addresses that start with 3 are Segwit-compatible and have friction.
Qtum Electrum synchronously updates electrum-related code and releases v0.18.9.
In this demo, Electrum developer Chris Belcher shows how to set up and use electrum personal servers.
The problem was not fixed. So he had to contact Electrum to highlight the urgency of the issue, and Electrum released Emergency Response Version 3.0.4 a few hours later.
