I consider Tononi's approach most promising, but there is more to consciousness than information integration alone. What I miss in the considerations by the philosophers is a self-monitoring feedback mechanism. This is IMHO the crux of consciousness. Good post, will upvote and follow you.

I agree! It's the most promising one, and lightyears ahead of most other theories, but definitely still rough around the edges with regards to its uniqueness and simplicity, and explanatory reach with issues like self-monitoring, free will, valence, and other issues.. Thanks for the comment and follow! :)
I also mentioned Tononi in a post on consciousness I wrote 3 weeks ago:https://steemit.com/internet/@technovedanta/technovedanta-from-a-conscious-internet-to-a-panpsychic-theory-of-everything
