**Edit**
X11 is still new, we need more time to watch it and see how it grows/functions over time. Waiting a month and analyzing X11 over that time makes more sense than rushing into it and finding out potential issues later. You guys should appreciate that we are taking extremely careful consideration, there are many factors at play and taking more time to determine those will only benefit us. It's our responsibility to provide a stable, healthy, and valuable coin--we cannot do that with knee jerk reactions.
