New Subvert and Profit Firefox Toolbar
Download the Subvert and Profit Mozilla FireFox Toolbar (see below for detailed instructions). The toolbar lives beneath the FireFox address bar, and automatically notifies you of new tasks. The toolbar completely replaces email notification of new tasks. When you have a new task, you simply go to Subvert and Profit, perform the task, and then use the toolbar to verify yourself. The toolbar means that you will get notified of tasks faster, you can troubleshoot your own verification issues, and the chances of detection are significantly reduced. Tasks are assigned to users who have the toolbar open, so if you want more tasks, you should keep the toolbar open and pay close attention to it.
Toolbar installation steps:
1. Open FireFox. (The toolbar will not work with Internet Explorer or Google Chrome.)
2. Go to http://subvertandprofit.com/content/toolbar and press the link to install the toolbar.

Successful recovery! 70% of banned users back in action
The recent Digg honey pot attack, while it was a hassle and did some damage, has left Subvert and Profit essentially intact. We lost a chunk of users, either to banning or to our new policy of only allowing trusted users to vote, but many of them have switched in a new Digg account. We are still running advertisements at the same rate… in fact, our trusted users are now happier because they have more things to Digg.
By falling back onto our trusted users, we ensure that our operation will continue without honey pot attacks in the future. This may slow our growth until we expand to our next site, but it is definitely worth it.
If you have been banned and have not yet entered your new account on your Digg user page, here are the very simple steps:
- Delete your browser cookies. On Firefox this is Tools >> Clear Private Data, and on Internet Explorer this is Tools >> Delete browsing history >> Delete cookies
- Download Tor if you don’t already have it. Tor anonymizes your IP address, so Digg cannot associate you with your old account. Then download the Torbutton extension for Firefox. You should really just use Firefox for Subvert and Profit work.
- Create a new account on Digg. You know the deal here.
- Enter it into your Subvert and Profit user page, and you’re set!
The attack has been good for us, since we were forced to think deeper about strategy, both for the present and going forward. Stick around with us: we’ll be sticking around for a while.
