I don't mean a detailed report. It is reporting the mint activity level which is a dead giveaway of which ones to target first.

Don't get me wrong, I'm a monero fan so this type of proofs are expected but that is on a large blockchain. On a mint this would make it a target.

if you don't want to feel like you are standing on a big red bullseye then maybe you need an actually decentralized protocol that isn't cashu. it's like sheesh we had all the pieces of the puzzle already put together and then people completely forgot about it. cut the crap.

Cashu works as intended: give anonymous coupons to someone else.

It isn't for big sums of money. For that we already have proper anonymous crypto. It isn't to pay coffees and grocery, for that we already have zaps.

This fills a niche in the real world which isn't answered by other options. Even when the mint stops working, you won't see many people upset over it. In fact, the person running the mint is likely someone close to the customers and won't like to keep them unsatisfied for 90% of cases. It isn't perfect, but this is the real world. There are advantages to this loosen method that I think you are under-appreciating but that have a tremendous value to others.

I keep hearing the laundry list of what cashu "isn't for" followed by a ridiculous story about how everyone's mom is going to hold onto their allowance money for them and how that's such an amazing invention. do you even hear yourself right now?

It is a case for keeping it simple.

In either way, if you feel that strongly about a change then it might be a better approach to just implement a prototype and see how others react.
