I was reading this issue from LibreWolf project when I read that some of new GitLab users were asking to give credit card information.

I had no idea this was a thing. According to the forum it’s a measure to avoid bots to use free CI workers time to mine shitcoins.

    Unless Gitlab changed things very recently, you only needed to provide a CC/DC if you wanted the free CI/CD pipeline enabled for your projects. Decline, and everything except the free pipeline works just fine.

      Yeah. I know. My point is that I didn’t know they asked for CC in the sign up screen. My gitlab account is quite old. If they had asked me for my CC to sign up, it would have been a big nope from me.
