    As title says, tried signing a message with a newly generated Segwit address in the GUI from 0.16.0 but this generates an error that the address provided is not linked to a private key.

    Note that some RPCs do not yet support segwit addresses. Notably, signmessage/verifymessage doesn't support segwit addresses, nor does importmulti at this time. Support for segwit in those RPCs will continue to be added in future versions.
