[Lightning-dev] How to use LN

[v e]

Thanks Christian,

I do know that i should not expose lighteningd to multiple tenants however,
I am still trying to understand:

1) How merchant wallet is tied up to an invoice?

2) How consumer wallet can send satoshi to that invoice id?

If you have any code examples that would be great.
