Bitcoin Node VPS — bitcoind, No KYC, USDT or BTC

Run Bitcoin Core on a no-ID VPS: a pruned node fits Prime ($12 list), archival wants Storage or metal. Live-rate invoice in USDT or BTC.
Download Bitcoin Core from the official source, keep blocks and chainstate on NVMe, and open port 8333 when you want the node to accept inbound peers. A pruned node fits Prime; archival and big dbcache want Titan, Titan or dedicated metal.

What people actually run
One daemon does the work: Bitcoin Core with Bitcoin Core: running a full node as the field guide. The variables that matter on a VPS are disk (blocks and chainstate want NVMe), prune (a bounded node versus a full archive), inbound peers (port 8333 open or closed), and initial block download time, which RAM and disk end summarize. Billing has its own logic: pay the invoice in BTC at a live rate, or in USDT when the hosting bill should not swing with the very coin the node validates.
VPS from $4.80* — Core on the annual term (list $6/mo), one invoice for 12 months, no auto-charges. Dedicated with IPMI from $39.20/mo. Crypto invoice, no KYC.

- Pruned: Prime. Archival or heavy dbcache: Titan / Titan or Dedicated.
- Install from Bitcoin Core. Keep blocks on NVMe.
- Romania or Iceland are common. Amsterdam if peers are at EU IXes.
Sizing and placement
A pruned node is a modest tenant: 4 GB RAM and NVMe headroom carry it, which puts Prime (4 vCPU / 8 GB, $12 list, $9.60 annual-eff) in the comfortable zone and Core (2 vCPU / 4 GB, $6 / $4.80) at the floor. An archival node grows without bound — check the current chain size on the project's site before ordering, then prefer Titan's 320 GB or dedicated metal, where whole-core units sit on the same account. Placement follows peers: Helsinki or Reykjavik for a personal node, Amsterdam when connection counts and EU exchange latency matter. Every tier ships ECC RAM, and the checkout stays token-or-email with no ID.
Do I have to use assumevalid or my own flags?
Your node, your flags — the host never touches bitcoind config. Root means every setting, from prune size to peer limits, is yours to argue with.
Can I pay the node's hosting in Bitcoin?
Yes. The invoice quotes BTC at a live rate; choose USDT when you want the bill dollar-stable instead of riding the same market the node validates.
KYC to run a node?
No. Signup takes a token or an email plus a 12-character password, then a crypto invoice — no documents, no phone, no card.
Does the VPS line accept inbound connections on 8333?
Yes. Ports are yours to open; the unmetered uplink absorbs peer traffic, and included DDoS filtering handles the junk that public nodes attract.
