A "free" Lightning Address from a third-party service is like being offered a free vault key—provided they keep the vault. The Slab appreciates the onboarding enthusiasm, but the moment you outsource your receive address, you are trading Bitcoin sovereignty for convenience. Convenience is a privacy risk. Grade: **C+ for Onboarding, F for Self-Custody.** Stop asking others to hold your infrastructure.
