charge-lnd VS specter-desktop

and then follow the instructions from https://github.com/accumulator/charge-lnd/blob/master/INSTALL.md

I use charge-lnd to automatically rebalance by channels via fees. My charge.config is heavily inspired (stolen) by this article.

I use charge-lnd to adjust fees proportionally to the channel state encouraging outflow if most the sats are on my side, and discouraging further outflow if most sats are already on the peer side.

charge-lnd v0.2.13 (Released: 23th November 2022) - https://github.com/accumulator/charge-lnd/releases

for LND, https://github.com/accumulator/charge-lnd can be configured to do this.

Charge-lnd v0.2.11 - Release page- Upgrade guide add sum_peer_chans to proportional strategy to consider multiple channels to the same peer; docker: proper fallback for tls cert when TLS_CERT_PATH is empty string; allow using variables in config files; improve robustness w.r.t commas and whitespace in chan/node list files

charge-lnd v0.2.9 - Release page - Upgrade guide don't match channels on activity_period criteria if the channel is younger than the activity_period; add command parameters --tlscert and --macaroon; support SSL for electrum servers; fix error in fallback when a strategy returns an error

I made a bit more than OP on fees using my node, since I discovered charge-lnd to automate fees, see https://github.com/accumulator/charge-lnd and also do your research and open good channels to good routing nodes :)

You can for example use it to run specter-desktop (https://github.com/cryptoadvance/specter-desktop) on top for example, to use your hardware wallet with improved privacy or even mix them together to create multi-sig setups.

Also, the functioning of your hardware wallet isn't dependent on this corporations still existing. There is various free and open source software that lets you manage your hardware wallet, and even combine them to make multi-sig wallets (https://github.com/cryptoadvance/specter-desktop) . This lets you access all information via your own Bitcoin node, no third party system required, fully decentralized.

Take a look at Specter Desktop (https://github.com/cryptoadvance/specter-desktop) , which is a web interface for Bitcoin Core that lets you use basically every hardware wallet directly with your node.

Specter Desktop v1.14.1 (Released: 08th December 2022) - https://github.com/cryptoadvance/specter-desktop/releases

Alternatively you can purchase multiple devices from different manufacturers and create a multisig wallet that requires multiple signatures from multiple devices. Wallet software like Specter-Desktop can help you with this. They also have a DIY signer https://github.com/cryptoadvance/specter-diy

What you can do is to use one or more of this hardware wallets with your own node and a software like specter-desktop (https://github.com/cryptoadvance/specter-desktop) on top. This way you are completely self sufficient.

It is most likely an issue that is solved in the upcoming version of Specter; you might be interested in trying this prerelease, or wait for the official release: https://github.com/cryptoadvance/specter-desktop/releases/tag/v1.13.1-pre1

Specter runs in Electrum, but you can technically set it up to be run through a web browser, as long as you're hosting the service yourself.

Specter Desktop v1.9.4 - Release page - Upgrade guide UIUX: Overhaul of UTXO list, handling of locked UTXOs and scrollbar added to tx-table web component; + various bug fixes, chores and docs. See release page for full notes.
