Today, I've just completed my first Bitcoin Lightning Network Payment. It worked smoothly and payment was confirmed within 1 second. I made several transactions and all went tremendously instantaneous. You can also check it by yourself. Please, follow these simple steps to make your first instant zero cost Bitcoin testnet payment through Lightning Network -
=>Navigate to https://htlc.me/
=> Write down your recovery secret to come back to this htlc wallet.Do not lose or share this recovery secret. Without it, your wallet will be lost.
=> You'll get a testnet Bitcoin (tBTC) payment to your wallet.
=> To receive your payment you need to create first your Lightning Invoice. To do this just click on "Receive" tab, then enter an amount and press "request payment".
=> Now you will get a notification message showing that you've successfully requested the payment through Lightning Network. You'll see your Lightning Invoice. It's the most important info which you will share with your payer.
=> Click on the notification icon, a bell to get desktop notifications. And click on the QR code icon to get QR code of your Lightning Invoice.
=> Now, I'm going to show how can you send BTC through Lightning Network. At this stage I need two separate HTLC wallet. So, I just run another browser and open another wallet. Then I click the "Send tBTC" tab.
=> Now I go to my first wallet where I requested a payment of 0.00005 tBTC ($0.65 tUSD). There I copy the Lightning Invoice.
=> Now I navigate to my second wallet. I paste the Lightning Invoice. A payment box has appeared now.
=> Just click on "Send Payment" button.
=> Your payment will be done within seconds.
=> Now check your balance on your first wallet from where you made your payment request. You'll see that your payment was completed.
That's all.
You can setup your own Lightning Network node too on HTLC.
