I downloaded Electrum because it is supposed to support bc1 wallets.
Every time I create a new wallet, it makes one starting with something like 0x9.
I'm not given a choice of what kind of bitcoin wallet.
Does anyone know how to specifically create a bc1 bitcoin wallet?
Sounds like you're running into a bit of a snag there. Electrum does support bc1 wallets, but if you're getting an address that starts with 0x9, that’s usually not a bc1 address.
Here’s the deal: when creating a wallet in Electrum, you need to make sure you're selecting the right options. Try going to the "Wallet" menu, then "Create New Wallet." When prompted, select "Standard Wallet" and make sure you choose "SegWit." This should get you set up with a bc1 address. If you're still confused, it might be worth checking the Electrum documentation.
