I talked with @Pmalek in another
topic about Electrum feature, and I'm translating it now.
(...)
I just translated another interesting tutorial about Electrum Testnet.
ps: I'm just translating (portuguese > english),
I'm not the creator, all credits go to the user @Alveus-
ORIGINAL TOPIC - "Guia Electrum Testnet ( em construção)" ps: The original topic was created years ago, there may be some inconsistencies in this tutorial
You need to download the latest version of Electrum wallet
https://electrum.org/#downloadFirst step, after finishing downloading and installing the wallet, you need create a shortcut for electrum.exe;
In the shortcut properties, under “destination”, add to the end of the location “--testnet”.

Okay, now we can access the testnet through electrum. Thus, when we access the wallet through the shortcut, we will enter the testnet, through the normal link on the mainnet.
Creating (Wallet):
- Create a "BIP39 Mnemonic" (seed BIP 39) and write it down, I suggest creating it at iancoleman.io -
https://iancoleman.io/bip39/ (preferably use the offline version);
- Select "I already have the seed" and click "Next";
- Enter the seed created in the first step. In "Options" select "Bip39 seed" and "extend this seed with custom words", click next;
- Choose a seed extension, (extra password)
- Choose one of the three scrypt options and the "path" to derive the keys:
- legacy (p2pkh) -
- p2sh (p2wpkh-p2sh) -
- bech32 or native segwit (p2wpkh) - tb1qf4e5yza378gdnewwuqzfu79xsv0a8cqhqftp83
Select one of the options and click "Next";
- Put a password in the wallet;
- End.
