Description
Like for Ledger, or Trezor, mainly, can an implementation be made to recover lightning channels from the hardware wallets themselves? Like with an algorithm, or nonce, or whatever works? I know Trezor has an extremely flexible API, I own both the Ledger and the Trezor, with the same seed, utilizing the benefits of both devices.
