a payment channel on LN is just a 2 of 2 mainchain multisig. it doesn't go away if the node is onffline.

either party can unilaterally close the channel and get their sats back.

there are literally hundreds of articles, guides and howtos on LN self custody.

if you dont believe it exists, its a You Problem.

I don't get what "either party" means but I definitely don't see how what you're saying would add up to me being able to receive coins at a lightning channel with a node that's not online

do you understand what multisig is?

because you need to understand multisig to understand payment channels

and you need to understand payment channels to understand what the LN is.

Yes I understand what multisig is

But I'm just one party

My sats being shared with a second party wouldn't be self custody
