I do think it would be beneficial to add a flavor to support hardware 
wallets, but I don’t have one to test this feature. Additionally, the 
necessary dependencies for hardware wallet support [1] have not been 
included in the OpenBSD build instructions [2] in the README of the 
original project's GitHub repository, although they are listed in the 
NetBSD build instructions. This suggests that hardware wallets may not 
work on OpenBSD.

Notes:

1. These dependencies are: devel/libusb1 comms/libhidapi devel/protobuf
