Virtual Private Node

Sovereign finance means low fees, instant settlement, and private transactions. Run your own Bitcoin + Lightning Node and get all three at the lowest hardware cost. Virtual Private Node is Free and Open Source Software that runs on any dedicated computer. A virtual server means you never have to think about physical hardware or exposing a home IP address.

A Node to use Bitcoin, not just save it.
