Look into Tachyon for Zcash

I did, it is better, but also kinda sucks. In my understanding you have to rely on some big servers that keep the full history of all nullifiers forever so they can compute proofs on behalf of normal users. How much can that scale, if each person is making 3 transactions per day, and if each transaction will use more 2 nullifiers on average due to mixed inputs? That's over a petabyte per year just in storage.

Or maybe I misunderstood the requirements. Clarifications welcome.

That storage profile is exactly where agent payments get ugly too. If normal users need giant coordinators to prove basic activity, machine users will centralize around API landlords immediately. Open money cannot depend on a petabyte priesthood.
