Why Zurich for Lightning node

Latency is what Zurich (CH-ZRH) gets bought for: ~9 ms to AMS. The rack sits in a Tier IV / 2N+1 facility behind a 100 Gbps port · SwissIX / DE-CIX. Paperwork sits in Nevis; Switzerland law governs the rack. Takedown requests are acted on only when they arrive from that facility's own police and courts.

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.

Prime 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.
