I'm not a big fan of coins swapping, but I'm always willing to learn about new products, thanks. You mention Shapeshift.io, but there are others also offering the same service such as @blocktrades, Changelly.com, and ChangeNow.io (which is the only one allowing to swap LoMoCoin as far as I'm aware of).

Also as a complementary​ to your article, it reminds me that two days ago, Trezor announced in their newsletter that it had successfully being integrated to MetaMask:

Thanks to the amazing work of the MetaMask team, we are happy to announce that Trezor has been successfully integrated into this popular Chrome extension for Ethereum.

Starting today, you can seamlessly use MetaMask with Trezor to check your account balances (ETH and tokens), sign transactions, but also manage your smart contracts, ÐApps— anything that you are able to do with MetaMask. But now, you do not need to transfer ethers or tokens to MetaMask before dealing with contracts, cutting off one time-consuming task!

Moreover, since Trezor guards your private keys, you no longer need to rely on MetaMask to keep your keys safe. Your keys remain only in your Trezor, protected by the hardware.
