Payments channels methods in Ethereum about clay HOT 3 CLOSED

Typical micropayment channels in bitcoin are working well and are used in a few applications already, eg. for video streaming, network bandwitch sharing. We already know that they are created for one-to-one scenarios and are not useful in Golem.
Lightning network may be useful but is still in a very early development stage. There are few naive implementations, but they are not safe and not efficient. Nobody knows how to solve routing problem in a proper way. I also recommend article: https://chrispacia.wordpress.com/2015/12/23/lightning-network-skepticism/ which describes many problem with this solution.
Anyway, payments channels in a current state-of-art are completely unuseable for Golem.

Hydrachain is nice solution but it seems to be created for small networks where all voting participants are known (or at least their number - to check whether 2/3 of nodes has voted). It may not be suitable for dynamically changing real world network.
