Last I heard people still complain about getting servers which lock-up under load (solved by redeploying to a different node via shutdown+start).

My servers stopped locking up (and performance got much better) when I updated to the newest kernels before launch. I think they solved the problem and the launch seems to coincide with that.

So how does the billing work? I spun up a C1 instance for an hour and I have a bill of 0.70 EUR.

From their example https://www.scaleway.com/faq/billing/#-How-to-read-my-invoice
the invoices are painstakingly detailed down to every last bit of what you paid for.
So what does yours say?

Wish they had a US location. I think Scaleway looks pretty cool but most of my visitors are in the US and I'm not sure if that would work out to well.

Delete the IP after you deleted a server... because IP is still there at network tab.

So if you forget about to delete.. then you have to pay!

Ah, that helps a lot. So whenever you deploy an instance and destroy it, the IP isn't destroyed (like what DO does), so I was charged 0.69 EUR for that reserved IP.

The speed to US is abysmally low unfortunately. I noticed when trying to move data to a Us server - full meh.
