The best thing to do is keep funds for transactions in exchanges, everyday use (if there is any) in a wallet on your pc (connected to the internet) and saving funds that you wont need for a while in an offline armory wallet.  These will then be completely safe. Other thatn that invest the funds!

In the most part you are talking about getting back coins which never existed.  The original deposits were used to pay interest to those who wanted to withdraw it.  Everything else is paper profits, which never existed.  Pirate may have run off with a sizable amount of BTC but it is nowhere near what people think and will certainly not cover all the debt that people believe is owed!

But LTC has steadily decreased in value over the past few weeks.  If you bought it for BTC you have lost (especially as BTC has appreciated compared to fiat).I prefer to have my BTC invested in something, earning me money!!

You are also ignoring the price of BTC.  The increasing difficulty and halving of the reward may make the value increase.  Alternatively it could make no difference at all!  At this stage it is pure speculation.  You pays your money and you takes your chance!

The thing is, its the same people interested in both.  You will find very few people who shun BTC and love LTC.  It will be the same crowd, just working out which offers the best mining opportunities at any given time.

I know the google authenticator can be used for many accounts with different organisations.  Not sure about the Yubikey though!

I am still interested if you can iron out the issues.

So I assume this never happened!  No suprise.

I hope LTC does not fail but it is intrinsically linked to BTC.  If BTC prospers, LTC stands a chance.  If BTC fails, so will LTC.

BFL have stated on here that it will not be before late Oct/ early Nov!

Armory is not difficult to use and has some brilliant features.  You can make paper back ups and create an offline wallet (all expalined on the site) which gives you real security.  I would thoroughly recommend it!

They have said that they hope to start shipping ASICs in Nov and have all pre orders out by Xmas.

I agree it's poorly named but the concept is sound!

I am happy with the incvestment.  Do a little investigation, see if the concept checks out and then go for it!

You only need the time machine and a fist full of dollars.  Go back and buy the things!!

But either way:

mmmmmmmmmm  Pizza

A good idea agreed but it looks like there were too many issues to overcome.
