Threema is quite good. One-time payment (even possible in bitcoin, https://shop.threema.ch/en)

No phone # needed as well.

Just delete it. If someone want to reach you, they'll find a way.

So the fees for failed HTLC counts toward the p&l? That sounds like a bug... :)

Are you doing (automatic) rebalances?
Offchain costs contain rebalances so this could be the issue.

Yeah, true if you don't have some kind of failure (e.g. ssd) and you know exactly your state of the node.

I did and it sucks really hard because you have basically always force close all channels. So there is not really a full recovery possible (at least you get back your funds).

Something to add: if you have channel peers that are offline for a longer period of time either contact them (if you can) to ask whats going on or close the channel. In case both are offline you cannot recover your funds.

It is, but it also adds risk (backup, storing of seeds etc). It depends on what you want to achive with the multisig setup.
