Here there is a cool experiment, using a Bitcoin bidirectional payment channel to do transactions off-chain and exchanging secrets and commitment transaction on Twitter.

Have a look at this thread: https://twitter.com/FedericoTenga/status/900541985790078976

I don`t understand this "commitment" thing those guys are talking about.What is this?
Two guys are sending each other a bunch of code.It isn`t very user-friendly, i think.
By the way,i don`t see the coffee purchased with this transaction delivered. Grin
Many people have concenrns about offchain transactions security and double spending issues.
Are offchain transactions secure enough?
