The LSPs we work with aim to keep channels open indefinitely as long as you use it and keep your node online.
If a channel is closed, the funds on your side of the channel will go to your onchain balance.

So what i understand now is that I need to run a node by myself -which is still foreign to me- to do it.
I like to close everything off when i leave the home and shut off internet when sleeping, so chance is I need to do that 'one time payment' again and again?
Meaning this is not the way for me and better I do a subscription way or find how to use something like nostr:npub1h2qfjpnxau9k7ja9qkf50043xfpfy8j5v60xsqryef64y44puwnq28w8ch ?
you can easily run it in the cloud.
The channel costs only apply once per channel. Imagine it as a setup fee for the connection.
With Coinos you outsource everything and put your sats in there control.
Clouds.. 😶🌫️ 🧐 So once i paid I am running a node in the cloud? No other installing etc.. to do? I'm still way to far away to understand - if ever...- things like github.
I would only need one channel right? (I'm not planning to open a store)
And to outsource everything... is that that bad? It's not my sayings i put on it but more like the cash i keep in my pocket right. Sucks if i loose it of course. The company that offers services linke LN wants to be trustworthy to be able to survive long run..
Once you pay, we maintain your node in our cloud, to which only you have access and keys.
One channel is enough, but it's recommended to have 2+ to good LSPs for redundancy
