In short;
- yes, open channels
- yes, channels have probability to close
To keep channels open, you must incentivize the channel peer to keep your channel open.
Best ways to incentivize channel stays open is;
1) constant activity
2) well balanced (best to keep most, if not all of your sats on your side, in case it does close you get your UTXO back)
3) if you can, communicate with channel peer (Nostr, TG, X, etc.)
These are not guarantees it'll stay open forever, just increases your likelihood it will
