Hi,
People on the bitcointalk forum in your [ANN] thread are waiting on a response indicating if you will delete the 50% premine. It would be good if you would go and respond to that because the coin has zero chance of ever being traded if the premine isn't purged down to < 1%.
Also, I don't know if you've considered this, but if that premine doesn't get purged by you, you can bank on one of the community who supported the launch taking over the coin and hard forking you out altogether; and everyone who invested hashes in the coin's launch will support them.
If I were you I'd purge the premine and retain control of the blockchain before someone helps you out of it.
Just my 2c. You can take it or leave it.
Take care.
Here's hoping.
