I probably should be the one to set one up for family friends, and one for my community, but I'm a little worried about real, or perceived, liability, and the paperwork or worse hassles therefrom. And about the time commitment.

addiction
think: cocaine, crystal meth
it's really no different
it looks like food, but it's not. it's an artificial substance engineered to addict
fueled by billions or trillions of dollars of food engineering, marketing, governmental and medical industry corruption
we don't stand a chance; once one steps into that whirlpool or quicksand, due to one or two bad choices at a particularly vulnerable time in one's life, it is nearly impossible to extricate oneself
a few of us have been lucky to have avoided, or escaped, that addiction
how many oceans must one boil to crack a 12-word bip39 seed phrase? a 24-word bip39 seed phrase? show your work.
how many bits of entropy does your password need to have, to cost a highly motivated and well-funded attacker, on average, US$1,000,000 to crack your, yours specifically, password? and how do pbkdf iterations help increase that effective entropy? (think: famous OG bitcoiners, with well-known email addresses, keeping their bip39 seed phrases in their lastpass vault last summer)

I'm trying to test BIP84 accounts on bitcoin testnet.
I want to use one BIP39 Mnemonic 12-word seed phrase for a few different BIP84 accounts, such as I mention above.
I created this BIP39 Mnemonic for testing on testnet:
napkin true regular couch tiny corn expand apple upon strong inspire method
I created this receiving address:
m/84'/1'/2'/0/0 tb1qfhm0938ddryn2mc84rafazatmpq7kkjvufw2vl
I got some sats from a testnet faucet and sent 5668 tsats to that address:
https://mempool.space/testnet/address/tb1qfhm0938ddryn2mc84rafazatmpq7kkjvufw2vl
But I can't seem to get any wallet to show it to me. I either can’t get the wallets to use testnet, but mostly I can’t seem to specify my m/84'/1'/2' derivation path. I tried #bluewallet, nostr:npub1jg552aulj07skd6e7y2hu0vl5g8nl5jvfw8jhn6jpjk0vjd0waksvl6n8n Green, Mycelium, Phoenix, EOL Eclair, Nunchuck. Breez, Muun. Zeus, Sentinel, Wasabi. I haven't tried Samourai yet, because I'm experimenting with Whirlpool at the moment. I haven't tried electrum or sparrow because they are a bit much for this use-case, I think.
(To be clear, I already do have BlueWallet and Sentinel watching-only my mainnet Account 0 (Swan autowithdrawal) and Account 1 (other receipts) stacks fine.)
Just in case I need to use hardened addresses, I also sent 1161066 tsats to m/84'/1'/2'/0/0' tb1qwn295dqm0zz2lw5pwtccr0w9g2rhttmjnl6yt3

Part B of this project is to create a watch-only wallet by importing my BIP84 Account "2" m/84'/1'/2'/0 testnet zpub:

(If I can't get this to work, then I'll start testing BIP85 Child Keys, which actually seem like a really cool concept.)
What am I not understanding?
Can you somehow escalate this request for help to your network?
For your Step 4, I don't see an option to choose "BIP39 Mnemonic". Instead, I pasted my 12 BIP39 Mnemonic 12-word seed phrase into the big text box, then I tapped "Import". I could see it scanning various derivation paths, including m/84'/0'/0', but not m/84'/1'/2'. So it doesn't seem to be checking Bitcoin testnet. How do I get it to check bitcoin testnet?
For your Step 4, I don't want to create a new wallet, I want to import my BIP39 Mnemonic 12 seed words.
I am using #BlueWallet ver 6.4.4 on android.
I opened the BlueWallet app on my Android device.
The "+" sign is at the top right. (The "Add a wallet" "Add now" button is at the far right of the top row of already-created wallets.)
When I tap the "+" sign to create a new wallet, I don't see an "Advanced Options" option.
I have the BlueWallet app on android. I opened that app. I don't see "Create Wallet". I tapped the plus sign, "+". I don't see the option to select "Bitcoin Testnet" as the network.
There are several Bitcoin wallets that support testnet and BIP84/BIP86 accounts with those specific derivation paths. Here are a few options you can consider:
1. Electrum: Electrum is a popular Bitcoin wallet that supports testnet and BIP84 accounts. You can download it from their official website: https://electrum.org/#download
2. BlueWallet: BlueWallet is a mobile Bitcoin wallet that supports testnet and BIP84 accounts. You can download it from the App Store or Google Play Store.
3. Blockstream Green: Blockstream Green is a Bitcoin wallet that supports testnet and BIP84/BIP86 accounts. You can download it from their official website: https://blockstream.com/green/
I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any other questions.
How do I create a testnet wallet with #bluewallet?
I need to find a bitcoin (and later a lightning) wallet that supports bitcoin testnet and BIP84 or BIP86 accounts with derivation paths like m/84'/1'/2'/0/0 or m/86'/1'/2'/0/0.
can you summarize what general kinds of prompts you've received today?
when I started a new nostr note on iris.to nostr web app, I typed in @dave, and then a bunch of @dave's came up, I clicked on your orange dot and blue check avatar, and then it populated your long npub string in my new note, with my cursor before the last character of your npub. I wasn't sure what was going on. I moved my cursor to after the end of your npub, and then typed the word "testing". I see now that the npub was replaced with @dave and all is good
