If you really need huge number of micropaiements per client per day, I'd suggest you to use a different paiement system.

You could use an account-based paiement system.  Optionnaly this could use David Chaum's e-cash system if you want anonymity.

Anyway, your clients would have an account on your server, and they could change their balance into bitcoin when it reaches a significtive amount, or on a daily basis.


I guess I'd like another requirement on this sub-net too:  It should be peer-to-peer and not a centralized solution.  Yes, a central server could perform this kind of system with all of the headaches and problems that such a solution also provides.  I would personally like to avoid having to turn Bitcoins into a conventional client-server model with a central authority which can be attacked.  It goes against the grain of why Bitcoins was originally established.

Bitcoins itself could be built into a central server system too, but I perceive the peer to peer nature of Bitcoins to be an essential strength of the system and something to be modeled onto sub-nets too.
