Why not batch them just like credit card transactions?  You get a middle that's willing to deal in hundreds of thousands of tiny transactions and then process them as larger transactions every X time period.

This suggestion is not relevant to the problem I'm talking about nor the solution I'm proposing.  I notice on another thread you're asking how mining works.  It is understandable that without a clear picture of how mining works and how blocks are formed, it's not clear why doing this won't help.  Hang in there though, with Bitcoin there comes a lot to learn, and you've got the right kind of mind to be helpful.

I know how the mining works in theory.  I was curious about exactly what problems they're being asked to solve.  But now I see what you mean.  While the 2nd half of batching the transactions into larger amounts might work in theory the first part wouldn't because the small transactions from the end user to the middle man wouldn't get processed for being too small...   Is this what you mean?
