There is nothing stopping you from making really a massive amounts of transactions on your own chain - and have it merged to the Main Chain when posting it for the witnesses to see.

You didn't mention signatures validation...
Did you forget to mention that Proof-of-Work in IOTA is a waste of energy, and time, since it does not in fact enforce any consensus or even security of the protocol? Due to nature of IoT devices being orders of magnitude less powerful than even normal PCs, and you expect them to run your dumb proof-of-work, waste energy and space. Because.... ? Yeah IOTA still relies on developers deciding consensus with milestones, and still is not on exchanges despite being a year or so in development, and still lacks even basics of smart contracts. Not to mention, requires human intervention to even setup nodes.  Roll Eyes

Do I need to go on?

You're in this thread only because you are glowing red of envious, someone else made something better than you, and you are scared that Byteball will steal your lunch money, so you try to troll it away.

And your trolling is bad, I did mention signature validation, that is verification.

It is my understanding that PoW is not performed by each device, rather the device signs a transaction and the PoW is done by a full node.

I do not have enough technical knowledge or enough knowledge of IOTA to say whether that is a viable concept. I am not trying to defend it. I just want to point out that that specific criticism is not really valid.
