So far, we have [inter-node encryption](https://github.com/rustyrussell/lightning-rfc/blob/master/bolts/01-encryption.md) and [transaction negotiation](https://github.com/rustyrussell/lightning-rfc/blob/master/bolts/02-wire-protocol.md).
Steps:
Routing between non-adjacent nodes is currently done manually using the 'dev-addroute' command; later on daemons will

blocks.
3. Get some test bitcoins, such as from [TPs' testnet faucet](http://tpfaucet.appspot.com/).
4. Run `daemon/lightningd`.
5. Run `daemon/lightning-cli getinfo` to check it's working.
6. Find a node using `daemon/lightning-cli getnodes` (this will populate
over time).
7. Create a new connection to the node using `contrib/lightning-open-channel
ADDRESS PORT AMOUNT` where AMOUNT is in BTC (.04294967 is the maximum
possible). If successful, this will return only once a block has been
mined with the funding transaction in it.
8. You can create more channels if you wish.
9. You can accept payment using `daemon/lightning-cli invoice
MILLISATOSHI LABEL`; it will give you a payment hash to give to the
payer.
10. You can send payments using `contrib/lightning-pay DEST-ID MILLISATOSHI PAYMENT-HASH`.
