This wallet will be used to create new channels. The first thing you need to do is send some satoshis to your c-lightning wallet. You can create a new address using `lightning-cli newaddr` command to use it later. The newaddr RPC command generates a new address which can subsequently be used to fund channels managed by the c-lightning node. This last 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 bech32. ```
