Summary

Expands the existing 67-line Viewing Keys stub into a full ~2300-word article.

New content added:

  • All four key types explained (Full Viewing Key, Incoming Viewing Key, Outgoing Viewing Key, Payment Disclosure)
  • ZIP 310/ZIP 316 derivation hierarchy with diagram
  • Practical zec-cli commands for each key type
  • Compliance and audit use cases (exchanges, tax reporting, payroll)
  • Security considerations and best practices
  • Comparison table of key capabilities

Why:

The existing article covers only the basics (what a viewing key is + one zcashd command). The expanded version provides the depth needed for developers, compliance teams, and power users.

UA for tips: u1placeholder (will update if tipped)
