Why Ámsterdam for Lightning node

Latency is what Ámsterdam (NL-AMS) gets bought for: < 1 ms to AMS. The rack sits in a Tier III+ / 2N facility behind a 40 Gbps port · AMS-IX / DE-CIX. Paperwork sits in Nevis; Países Bajos law governs the rack. Takedown requests are acted on only when they arrive from that facility's own police and courts.

VPS from $3* (fund $50+), storage 1–5 TB NVMe from $24/mo annual-eff, dedicated with IPMI from $30.80/mo. Crypto invoice, no KYC.

What actually runs: Lightning node

Run LND or Core Lightning on a VPS whose IP stays put, keep the bitcoind backend on NVMe, and settle the hosting invoice on-chain in BTC or USDT. Warden tier starts a routing node; dedicated metal protects channel state from noisy neighbours. LND and Core Lightning want a stable IP and port 9735 reachable - both are defaults here.
