#### Usage
To request a lightning payment simply call `request()` on a `new LnTip({amount: amount, memo: memo})`:
```js
new LnTip({ amount: 1000, memo: 'high5' }).request()
```
Use it from a plain HTML link:
```html
<a href="#" onclick="javascript:new LnTip({ amount: 1000, memo: 'high5' }).request();return false;">Tip me</a>
```
##### More advanced JS API:
```js
let tip = new LnTip({ amount: 1000, memo: 'high5' });
