RE: IOTA - more questions than answers.
"if you sent a million micro transactions - you will need to validate two million other transactions and that might result in heavy electricity bill especially if done on ineffective hardware."
So, if someone is sending a million transactions isn't the 'work' conducted by that entity? Also, that entity would be required to transact 2 million other transactions as well. So, that entity if making such grand transactions is likely a corporation with resources available to work out such transactions. As far as I'm aware this is what I have been told.
So, the more big players that use the currency the more computing power it will have, simply by those that use it...
No, you can create the transactions but let someone else transmit these to the network and do the PoW. This someone else is in effect a miner, who specializes in efficient PoW processing and charges fees for the electricity and the service. Still, this miner will burn less electricity than someone else that uses non-specialized hardware.
This specialization makes sense, as not everyone who wants to make a million or more transactions per day would want to also become a miner in order to perform the PoW required in an efficient way.
Yes, the more big player would use the IOTA - the more computing power will it attract - but this computing power will be centralized just like in Bitcoin or even more.
