the verification process involved revealing an existing and established social media profile, I had none(at least none that wouldn't pose a huge OpSec risk) and I am currently broke(XMR) to justify sending money for a signup(I will do it eventually, I am not stingy and am willing to contribute to a cause I support)

what governments force you is outside of the scope of monero yes it is but at the same time it isn't; Monero's growth and adoption, depends on the way it is handled by legislature, the likely outcome of my dystopian reality is relisting(but at what cost, I rather have it be banned); It is as I said 'the view keys is equivalent to Handing a silver-platter to the Government and by extension analysis companies' I agree they are legitimately useful but they have the capacity to be Abused and used for surveillance.

PS. Is there a way I can voice my concerns directly to the development team currently working on Seraphis?

There is an official list

The subr*ddit is pretty active, but lately the posts there feel 'suppressed' and sorta just weird.

This what i am trying to say, the only option being a limited view key is way better(Sorry if my rants sound preachy, but this just sort a popped in my head and is making me utterly miserable)

This is not really a problem. You could just send the funds to another wallet and say the outgoing transactions were to pay for goods and services. Businesses would be the first to be forced to declare their view keys, Assuming that; If your transaction doesn't show up on their system they have probable cause to suspect you, It would be equivalent to using Tornado cash directly from your CEX wallet; Call me paranoid but this neat feature has huge potential to be abused, not just from governments but essentially all businesses.

If you have a “boating accident” you would most likely lose all your keys, including the view keys. :)

Not plausible when presently i can just say "What Monero? 🤷‍♂️"

PS. The state has no right to directly tax income as this is derived from an even exchange of labor for currency, there is no profit. If you are profiting from the labor of others then a tax claim can be made.

Your state is different than my state

I wish there were more users on this instance or Lemmy in general, Can some one please Crosspost this post to the subr*ddit, I would like to hear their thoughts about it as well, all my accounts have been shadow-banned to the depths of tartarus. PS: Mentioning Lemmy or the Fediverse gets you shadow-banned, as well as having any direct links in the post; Try typing it as 'monerodottown'
