Eventually `lightningd` will include its own wallet making this transfer easier, but for now this is how it gets its funds.
If you don't have any testcoins you can get a few from a faucet such as [TPs' testnet faucet](http://tpfaucet.appspot.com/) or [Kiwi's testnet faucet](https://testnet.manu.backend.hamburg/faucet).
`lightningd` will register the funds once the transaction is
confirmed.
Once `lightningd` has funds, we can connect to a node and open a channel.
Let's assume the remote node is accepting connections at `<ip>` (and optional `<port>`, if not 9735) and has the node ID `<node_id>`:
