Hi!
I've seen this https://satoshis.place/ website.
Thus I am looking for a simple guide that would explain how do I pay in bitcoins using lightning network.
Does bitcoin core supports this feature?

Bitcoin core isn't a lightning wallet... You can run a bitcoin core node and install c-lightning on top of it... C-lightning makes use of your core installation to function.

As for a simple walktrough: i made a lightning application on the testnet and wrote a walktrough on how to use it:

Mainnet is about the same as the testnet, but i'd encourage you to try LN on the testnet first Wink

Great! Thanks!
