#### Fund you c-lightning wallet.
The first thing you need to do is send some satoshis to your c-lightning wallet. You can create a new address using this command an send it money. This is done with the `lightning-cli newaddr` command. The newaddr RPC command generates a new address which can subsequently be used to fund channels managed by the c-lightning node. This transaction is called the [funding transaction](https://github.com/lightningnetwork/lightning-rfc/blob/master/03-transactions.md#funding-transaction-output) and it needs to be confirmed before funds can be used. You can specify the type of address wanted, if not specified the address generated will be a bench32.

Now that we have funded our c-lightning wallet we will get information about remote node to start creating channel process. On LND nodes you can get information about your node using `lncli -n testnet getinfo`:

In this example we will use two lightning nodes running c-lightning and LND implmentations.
