Usage

   dcrlncli addinvoice [command options] value preimage

Description

Add a new invoice, expressing intent for a future payment.

Invoices without an amount can be created by not supplying any parameters or providing an amount of 0. These invoices allow the payee to specify the amount of atoms they wish to send.

Options

Option Info
--memo value A description of the payment to attach along with the invoice (default=”“)
--receipt value An optional cryptographic receipt of payment
--preimage value The hex-encoded preimage (32 byte) which will allow settling an incoming HTLC payable to this preimage. If not set, a random preimage will be created.
--amt value The amt of atoms in this invoice (default: 0)
--description_hash value SHA-256 hash of the description of the payment. Used if the purpose of payment cannot naturally fit within the memo. If provided this will be used instead of the description(memo) field in the encoded invoice.
--fallback_addr value Fallback on-chain address that can be used in case the lightning payment fails
--expiry value The invoice’s expiry time in seconds. If not specified an expiry of 3600 seconds (1 hour) is implied. (default: 0)
--private Encode routing hints in the invoice with private channels in order to assist the payer in reaching you
--ignore_max_inbound_amt Ignore check for available inbound capacity in directly connected channels and create the invoice anyway.
