[bisq-network/bitcoinj] Transaction can serialize and deserialize according to Segwit (#13)

[Oscar Guindzberg]

I just had a look at this issue.
This is the actual commit that is part of bitcoinj master https://github.com/bitcoinj/bitcoinj/commit/648655da99ac7cdc48fef7d5b6aaa57148af3d6f
I see no need to merge this ASAP.
Segwit is a soft fork, so it is backwards compatible. Meaning any bitcoin node that does not support segwit (eg bitcoinj before 0.15 release) is still part of the network and need not be changed as long as it follows the longest chain.
Peers won't send txs serialized with the new format to peers that don't support segwit yet.

BTW, have a look at https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/bitcoinj/qjxgcpKak3s for discussion about releasing bitcoinj 0.15 with segwit support.
