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

Well done Core devs, this is a huge step forward.
I have high hopes that soon enough this procedure becomes something used by everybody at a daily basis. Cheap and fast Bitcoin payments, wow.
And this will also help - hopefully - to decrease or at least avoid the tx spam we are facing for quite some time now.
