I have a simple stupid idea

Problem description:

Paying services in order to only make their service available for their paying customers, force you to create an account. Then they can track your movements under your account.

Solution:

Service company generates a 1 private-public keypair. It gives the public key to only those who pay. Then paying users can send a signed packet to the service to authenticate without blowing their privacy.

All paying users use the same public key.

Service can verify with private key.

At each month, they regenerate, and give it to paying customers.

What do you think?

You mean 1 pays, and then redistributes. Or no differentiation between 2 paying users?

The latter

You are asking this in relation to protecting the service from malicious actors, users who use the service for something wrong, or?
