Guard your WhaleShares MANA with this simple TamperMonkey Script!

While the WhaleShares v2 interface brought many advantages, especially as we continue going forward, one problem that did arise is that your Settings were only stored locally in the browser.

While for most users this isn't a problem, it does sometimes cause issues for those who switch over to "incognito mode", or different browsers, or even other devices. If you've ever placed an UPSHARE in the new interface, just to realize your settings were wiped out again...

OH CRAP, I didn't want to use 100% MANA on that!
:wls_triumph: Gotta reset those darn settings, again! :wls_triumph:

... then this post is probably meant for you!

The good news is that the problem is expected to be addressed by v3. Of course, that doesn't help any of us possibly affected by it now!

Those of you using WhaleVault may have realized that one solution is to confirm each UPSHARE manually. This certainly works, if you don't mind waiting to confirm an additional popup each time you reward someone.

Simple TamperMonkey Script

Here's another interim solution you can easily deploy in any browser that supports TamperMonkey, a very popular user script manager, for Chrome, Microsoft Edge, Safari, Opera Next, and Firefox.

The underlying script is available from my crypto-playpen github repo: https://github.com/alexpmorris/crypto-playpen/blob/master/whaleshares_v2_settings.js

Once you've setup TamperMonkey, click on the new icon and go over to the Dashboard. Next, click on the "+" to add a new user script, drop in the short script above, save the script (File -> Save), and you should be set to go!

If the script detects that your settings are no longer available, it will provide you with a popup alert, and restore them as directed.

By default, 25% rewards are enabled (votePercent: 2500), along with "Display NSFW Posts". Feel free to adjust these settings to your liking before saving the script.

From now on, you no longer have to worry about your settings disappearing, as this TamperMonkey script will monitor them, and restore them if necessary. When that happens, you'll also receive the following popup alert:

And that's pretty much all there is to it! :grin:
