The payment is for the channel which is with one of the LSPs. It is a one time payment as long as the channel is open and if everything works fine the channel stays open.

As to the password we should check why you can not copy it in. to start the hub or to login you have to enter it.

And if the LSP suddenly closes (how i think it work) the sats in my LN wallet get send to my cold wallet, if i added it, or else they are gone? And if the onchain tx fees are high that could mean not much is left..?

With the hub app 'pw fill-in area', also if i fill something in there and try to copy it hitting right mouse no options show up to copy/paste.

I could either get used to it, fill in the pw manually every time, or maybe make it shorter(less strong) because this app with pw are only on this device i use? So it's not that someone could hack it and use it on their device, unless they have this physical device with app?

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

Thanks. I'll let all this chat span over a week or so sink in. If i go this way i need to be online to receive sats/zaps?

Yes, lightning node has to be online at the moment of sending and receiving
