Sorry bud, but your seeds aren't gonna automatically pop open after you've soaked them 
Gotta leave them moist but not too wet for a few days or else your tap root will suffocate & drown.

24 hours? most would have cracked at least
The 1st one we soaked for 48 hrs and it looked like it popped open, so we put in a moist towel in a zip lock bag, but nothing happened. So we've tried the same thing again, but nothing is happening. I don't want to keep doing the same thing and losing seeds.
We had another seed that we did the exact same thing w and it grew a root. We planted it but it's looking a little sad. It grew tall quickly (and by tall I only mean about 2 inches). It's been over a week and it hasn't grown almost at all. It got its first set of "true" leave but they r starting to dry and brow on the very tips. This is much harder than I thought it would be. Any advise would be wonderful!

A lot of seeds benefit from having them on a heat source like on top of a hot water heater or a seedling heat mat. put a thin cloth towel between so they don't cook. And definitely keep them moist. I like to fold a paper towel, wet it, then drop seed and cover with plastic wrap. That way you can keep them warm, moist, and visable until they germinate.

is it too cold maybe? could have drowned too, the only advise i can give is to take a step back and read up on your new hobby... there is lots to learn.

What color are the seeds? They could just be shit seeds. When you soaked them did they sink to the bottom, or remain floating? As for the sprouts I suggesting finding a thread on here about sprouting written by a reputable member, or getting on Youtube and finding and watching videos about sprouting plants.

If they were not stored properly they may be bad I've also read from gorge Cervantes I thank that's how u spell it but he said some seeds have really hard shells and he said to rub thin lightly with sand paper I've never done it so I don't know if that will help but if u soaked them for a long time they might be to soft to try and try to keep your hands free of nicotine it can harm or kill the plants happy growing
