I want to open a lightning channel and I have some questions, so I'd appreciate your help. Are these the right steps?
  1. Download the non-custodial wallet with node management.
  2. Send Bitcoin to the wallet by mainnet.
    • Is it possible to fund the wallet via another lightning wallet? If so, does it need to be a mainnet transaction?
  3. Open a channel.
    • When opening a channel, how do I choose who to open it with? In order to reduce the chance of the channel being closed.
For the 2nd point, maybe start reading this: https://darthcoin.substack.com/p/bitcoin-ln-wallet-how-to-fund-it and follow the rabbit hole in those guides.
Open private channels to avoid closed, if you can, with noderunner you know or a big router node.
