Am creating a wallet for testnet and mainnet.
Am wondering is it safe to enable the use of bech32 addresses in mainnet now ?
I already asked this question in stackexchange but it look like nobody have any idea
What worries me is the 'draft' status of this BIP
Thanks a lot for your contribution !

Asked on IRC a while back, the draft status shouldn't deter you using bech32 at this point. Wallets and explorers already generating these addresses, and the spec hasn't been changed in months.
