Hi v e,

in order to use Lightning Charge you will need the following:

- A full bitcoind node sync'd with the network
- A c-lightning node
- npm + lightgning-charge running to give you access to the REST API

We currently do not have (and may never have) bindings for bitcoinj.

Re invoices: the invoices are tracked by c-lightning and you can store a
reference to them in your store using the `payment_hash`. Customers will
need to have their own Lightning client and some channels open to the
network in order to send payments.

Cheers,
Christian
