But the description isn't used when I send a payment. All they get is the payment_hash. > htlc me is one node but separates its balance into user accounts that exist > outside lightning.

Ah, that's understandable, but it seems like a wrong API. c-lightning doesn't store the description in the database at all: each invoice uses a label which the invoice creator specifies. Unlike a description, this must be unique. It's not exposed to customers at all.
