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.

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.

Hope that helps. Otherwise I'm not sure how to adjust the QT/GUI version of Bitcoin Core, I used a guide on Raspberry Pi (Raspibolt).

As LND v0.13.3 is a critical security update of LND, it might be beneficial to merge PR #763 asap... (also the Electrs update #762 which contains significant changes, see Issues below)

I used this guide: https://stadicus.github.io/RaspiBolt/

You could just install Muun on your phone for now until you're sorted. I recommend https://stadicus.github.io/RaspiBolt/ But I hear a simpler plug and play one is Umbrel.

Several users have reported issues when trying to update their Electrs. Before updating, you might find useful to read the following things: 1) A pull request by Electrs maintainer romanz to update some settings in the Electrs conf file (the chqnges can be seen here); 2) a discussion on the TG group between two users troubleshooting issues (starting at this post)

#762: Update docs for the latest electrs release (by romanz, Electrs creator & maintainer)

#760: swapped S1 Wireless LAN and S5 Boot placements in rasp-config steps of docs (by bradley-ray)
