## Understand a SegWit Transaction

15-
In classic transactions, signature (witness) information was stored toward the middle of the transaction, while in SegWit transactions, it's at the bottom. This goes hand-in-hand with the blocksize increases that were introduced in the SegWit upgrade. The blocksize was increased from 1M to a variable amount based on how many SegWit transactions are in a block, starting as low as 1M (no SegWit transactions) and going as high as 4M (all SegWit transactions). This variable sized was created to accomodate classic nodes, so that everything remains backward compatible. If a classic node sees a SegWit transaction, it throws out the witness information (resulting in a smaller sized block, under the old 1M limit), while if a new node sees a SegWit transaction, it keeps the witness information (resulting in a larger sized block, up to the new 4M limit).

So that's the what and how of SegWit transactions. Not that you need to know any of it to use them. Most transactions on the Bitcoin network are now SegWit. They're what you're going to natively use for more transactions and receipts of money. The details are no more relevant at this point than the details of how most of Bitcoin works.
