Smart Contract Delay Sparks Kaspa Community Frustration

Hey, welcome to Kaspa Daily Pulse – here’s what the Kaspa community’s been buzzing about today.

First up, there’s frustration around delays again. Smart contracts were supposed to launch today, August 31st, but the rollout got pushed back. Some folks even joked about throwing a party and now being stuck with a deposit for nothing .

Second, lots of chatter about altseason timing. September, or “Rektember” as some are calling it, has people split — some fear another dump, while others are holding out for a rally in Q4. A few even mapped out strategies: sell late October, buy back after a November dip, then ride a December wave .

Third, the ecosystem projects are under heavy debate. IGRA and Sparkle are getting cautious optimism — seen as more transparent than Kasplex, which many dismiss as a failure so far. The hope is that interoperability and zk opcodes down the line will give Kaspa a real edge .

On the infrastructure side, Kluster earned praise for open-sourcing its entire stack — a rare move in this space that the community genuinely respected . But drama continues too, with KEF leadership facing accusations of arrogance, donation squabbles, and ongoing miner controversies .

And finally, mining talk resurfaced. Despite thin margins, Kaspa is still one of the few coins people can GPU mine profitably — though many admit renting hardware for AI workloads pays better right now .

That’s it for today’s pulse. September starts in a few hours, so let’s see if it’s Rektember or Pamptember. Catch you then.
