Abstract: Let $Gamma$ be a countable discrete group, $H$ a lcsc totally disconnected group and $ho:GammaightarrowH$ a homomorphism with dense image. We develop a general and explicit technique which provides, for every compact open subgroup $L<H$ and bi-$L$-invariant probability measure $heta$ on $H$, a Furstenberg discretization $au$ of $heta$ such that the Poisson boundary of $(H,heta)$ is a $au$-boundary. Among other things, this technique allows us to construct examples of finitely supported random walks on certain lamplighter groups and solvable Baumslag-Solitar groups, whose Poisson boundaries are prime, but not $L^p$-irreducible for any $pgeq1$, answering a conjecture of Bader-Muchnik in the negative. Furthermore, we give an example of a countable discrete group $Gamma$ and two spread-out probability measures $a{u}_1$ and $a{u}_2$ on $Gamma$ such that the boundary entropy spectrum of $(Gamma,a{u}_1)$ is an interval, while the boundary entropy spectrum of $(Gamma,a{u}_2)$ is a Cantor set.
