Welcome to 6529Complaints
nGMi ; Yes, that's how we all great each other and all community members (and non members) are referenced to as Complainnnooorrrsss
Introduction
To summarize 6529Complaints in a couple of sentences ; The initiative is centered around the theme of combining humor, memes, and the culture of complaints within the context of NFTs (Non-Fungible Tokens) and broader Crypto & Web3 ecosystem. We often try to put a positive spin on complaints in our ecosystem.
Project History
You can grab some coffee and read our genesis story here.
In summary, 6529Complaints was born from an inside joke within OM discord where people used to complain about various things in relation to 6529memes ecosystem (No Allowlist, Floor price too high/too low, Gas prices, Frequency of NFT mints etc)
The idea was simple - Bring complaints on-chain. Instead of complaining on a centralized platform, we requested people to mint and send complaints to 6529complaints.eth and put them on-chain.
Starting there, it followed the 6529Memes model and gave a platform to emerging artists to create artwork in different complaints themes and share it with potential collectors. The project is called "Complaint Cards (not) by 6529", checkout the artwork and read more about them here. All the artwork was CC0, we kept the price relatively low so it's not a big lift for collectors and at the same time, artists are being decently compensated for their work and putting the art out there in Public domain.
Current State
There are a few things in the works for current state. We have a small but vibrant community that wishes each other nGMi on somewhat of an infrequent basis. Also, Zamunda who was an essential part of 6529Complaints from Day 0 has taken a step back and we thank him for all his contributions.
Complaint Cards
Towards the end of the season 1, we realized that the demand was tapering off which is very natural and we happen to have had launched Complaint Cards at the foothills of a bull run in 6529Memes which resulted into high demand in peripheral ecosystems. Coming back to the point, we realized that the demand was tapering off and instead of launching another season of Complaint Cards we put that idea on HODL and focused on building a place in the Metaverse called "Complaints Building".
Complaint Building
We have all the assets for the complaints building ready, the only thing that's left is decorating it and making it ready for Complainnnooorrrsss to enjoy and complain in. You can find a recap of the season and glimpse of the building in the video below.
Regular Complaints (Thanks Farcaster + Frames)
We had been nibbling on the idea of creating something on a higher frequency to spread complaint memes/re-memes onchain , find our 1000 true fans Complainnnooorrrsss and have fun. We didn't want this to come at any cost to the Complainnnooorrrsss but L1 gas prices were inhibitors, Farcaster + Frames + Base L2 + Manifold changed the script and we were able to execute on this idea.
1/ An initiative by 6529Complaints to make complaint memes, re-memes, absolutely regular complaints available to existing and new Complainnnnoooorrrrss at no cost to them in the spirit of spreading complaints, culture and having fun.

Some of the RegularComplaints Cards are shown below ;
All of them minted out pretty quickly which is expected given it's no cost, frictionless to collect and fun (we think). Secondaries for RegularComplaints cards is here.
Future Plans
We'd like to reiterate that there is no official roadmap to any of this. It's truly around having fun, spreading memes and bringing a humorous twists to complaints in the NFT/Crypto and Web3 worlds.
Buy only if you want and can afford it, for fun. If not, just right click save as the cards for free and do what you like with them Don't FOMO There's no roadmap or utility (art is the utility)
That being said, here are a few things we plan to spend our time on next ;
Finishing up decoration of complaints building and have a portal to that in OM
Keep spreading RegularComplaints and finding 1000 true fans while spreading memes, re-memes and complaints
Commence season #2 of Complaint Cards once we find a way for artists to be compensated fairly for their creating and releasing their work in the Public domain in a low demand environment.
Maybe something in relation to Major Karen Pepe
Working on a way (possibly using Frame) where people can submit their complaints onchain and they get collected in 6529complaints.eth
Conclusion
In the end, we leave you with our latest RegularComplaints Card ;
IX Commandments of NFT Complaints
nGMi, May the complaints be with you.
