Does anyone think there is room for a new mint-like service?
YES! One for power users would be great.

Why do they need Coinbase? Just give them your address, which is public information anyhow.
I think if you are using an exchange your coins are not really in a known address. The exchange probably stores your coins, along with others, in many of its wallets. However I do see how the ledger comes into play for your personal coin addresses. That is actually a powerful concept and pretty cool. From a Mint perspective adding meta-data for coin transactions would be a good start to help categorize coin spends/re…
At Coinbase, this is not true. You own your addresses. There is no "Hot Wallet". This may not be true of coins you just bought, that have just been added to your balance, but it's certainly true of coins you received as payment (to an address that you knew / gave to a customer / used in an API payment button on a website).
What Mint can't do without access to the API is know all of your owned addresses and aggregate their balances into one. Now as for the rest of your ideas, I'm not from California, but I honestly don't see any vendors signing up to use Bitcoins. Everywhere I go will take the Paypal card, but nowhere is offering to take bitcoin via NFC or QR code. Maybe "if you build it they will come."
I would like to have a way to export a global public key from my private key, such that customers could generate their own receiving addresses (for my wallet) without any sort of access to my private key, or third party. I have no idea if this is even a thing, but I also can't say for sure that it's not possible. If it were possible, I think it would also make it possible to pin the exact balance of a wallet, so I suspect it's not possible/an undesirable idea.

Sorry to plug it twice in this thread, but I've launched one, https://www.BudgetSimple.com would love your feedback!
I think mint does budgets well, but fails hard at tracking investments and assets. I looked at budgetsimple before, but this is what turned me off.
I use wikinvest.com for tracking investments and assets.

I tried wikinvest, but it really just for brokerage accounts. I'm big into real estate. Currently, nothing fits my use case better than mint and mint is not ideal (e.g. can't do cashflow).
Also, I want a single place to see my networth as it's a huge factor in understanding my progression towards retirement. Having multiple interfaces makes this difficult.

The thing is called a Master Public Key:

Yes, yes, and one more emphatic yes. Mint.com never satisfied my needs. I'd like a double-entry ledger, and proper non-USD asset support[1] please. [1] Not even GNU cash gets this right. See: http://www.mathstat.dal.ca/~selinger/accounting/gnucash.html
Need all that? You might like to try Quicken.
