Cracking of Password of keystore and alias
by
adv.kanishk
on 23/01/2016, 13:16:17 UTC
Dear Friends

I have a keystore file and the password for that file has been lost by the developer and it is required to update my app. A friend of mine has already run "Brute Force" on the file but the file is taking too long to be processed for cracking the password. This is the place, where some of really great technology enthusiast, come and help each other.

I need the password and would be greatful if someone can help me retrieve it or suggest some ways to do so. Let me know!!!

Re: How you guys are mentioning earning from bitcoin in ITR filing ?

Wow guys great to read all the answers of the members here. just to sum the whole things up the earning from buying/selling of bitcoins needs to be treated differently and the earnings from mined bitcoin needs to be treated separately. People who are providing their services in lieu of bitcoin have different tax exposure from the people who are selling goods for bitcoins because of the definitions as to what is considered as considerations in both indirect taxes i.e. VAT and Service Tax. Vat will be even more complex as it varies from state to state.

Hey just saw your reply after posting my earlier reply. I do not think what you qouted about constitution law is in the constitution of India (Bare Act). It might be a qoute in a judgment or by someone. I might be able to research on a judgment about this qoute. Let me know if you need help.

At first, I am sorry for seeing this post late as you must have had your hearing today only.

As a lawyer, I would suggest the following things-:

1. They are not going to refer any articles of newspaper or websites, unless it is an official government website.

2. Instead of articles give them news about other countries regulating it, that might help.

3. The directors should not visit personally, unless they have been summoned.

4. You are not required to appear before them or submit any information unless you receive proper summons. However, practically it is better not to say such things as it might steam them up.

5. If at any point, you think or apprehend that talks may take wrong direction then take anticipatory bail. There are certain strings attached to it I can discuss it over a call, if you want.

6. Insist that there is nothing illegal about it. They will say that it is not legal but your story should always emphasize that it is not illegal.

Let me know in case you need any info. Will be glad to defend the community.

HI Guys

I am posting this post for any software wizard who can help me recover data from a hard disk (1 TB) which was formatted, then 3 partition were created and then nearly 700GB data was copied on that hard disk. The data in that hard disk is of my sister wedding and I do need it. I have always tried to do my bit for this community and now seek help from any data recovery wizard to help me on this. The data recovery personnel needs to be placed in Delhi for me to handover the hard disk. Also, I can provide the photographer cards which have these pics but have been formatted and overwritten several times. Imbox me if you can help me out and I shall definately pay for the efforts, as well.

Re: is it legal to accept bitcoins in india
by

on 08/01/2015, 09:55:37 UTC
Well i accept bitcoins for many freelancing jobs. Why would it be illegal?
Accepting bitcoins for freelancer job is not illegal, but the question how you are treating them in your tax return and want kind of documentation trail you are keeping in order to support with department queries is what matters.

Buying and selling of bitcoin is not illegal but only if buying/selling is done through reported money. One might get in problem trading in bitcoin through cash, if one day the department think of initiating action against bitcoin people. Certain aspects are to be taken into consideration.

Not to scare anyone but as a member I wanna caution people dealing in cash for buying/selling of bitcoins. Also, the one who are providing services or selling goods needs to consider certain parameters which falls upon the legal line of law.

Re: why people look to buy and sell bticoins outside exchanges?
by

I think we are talking about 2 different things. The retrospective law was passed after an existing case was decided in favour of Vodafone. People may not be worried about incarceration, but they could still be concerned about excessive taxes. Excessive taxes (imposed retrospectively) would effectively result in the government seizing your bitcoins (as taxes). Smiley

Taxation implication in terms of retrospective effect should not happen as retrospective amendment in itself means an amendment in existing provision. I am not suggesting that an retrospective tax implication cannot happen but surely there is a remote probability that it will happen.

Now the second party of fear which every normal trader has "What if authorities take an action against us" -: As a lawyer I should save it for telling in my opinions for legal fee but since community as a whole has this issue I would like to tell that no government agency can arrest you for trading in bitcoin. Any regulation which may come in future cannot be in effect with retrospective effect (back dated). So if government bans it on 1.4.2016 (Example only) then any person who traded before 1.4.2016 cannot be incarcerated. Hope this information encourages people to trade in bitcoin without a sword hanging on their head.

Yes, that seems to be point about incarceration.

From the Constitution ,  
(20) Protection in respect of conviction for offences. —(1) No person shall be convicted of any offence except for violation of a law in force at the
time of the commission of the Act charged as an offence, nor be subjected to a penalty greater than that which might have been inflicted under the law in force at the time of the commission of the offence.

(Electronic Page 5 of this file http://lawmin.nic.in/olwing/coi/coi-english/Const.Pock%202Pg.Rom8Fsss%286%29.pdf)

So you may not be convicted for trading in bitcoins now, by the Government bringing in a retrospective law. But can they tax you with retrospective effect? What if they suddenly decide to pass a retrospective law stating that Bitcoin transactions are subject to 100% VAT. Aren't they well within their powers to do this? (I am thinking about the Vodafone case).
Even the vodafone case was decided in favor of Vodafone. Secondly, even if VAT or any other tax is imposed restrospectively (very remote chance) even then the issue of incarceration will not come into effect. Also, if these kind of regulation comes further a timeline will be provided to the traders to pay the taxes without any interest or penalty.

Hope the answer clarifies the doubts in your mind.

My friend government is the Executive part of our nation. Cheating would be separate and it would be dealt by Judiciary and yes the cheating case can be instituted and persued provided the lawyer is able to explain the whole concept of bitcoin in an understandable manner.

ok, so consider 2 options:-

1. you trade outside exchanges. you give your bank account number to a buyer and sell him bit coins. he *knows* your identity because you gave him a/c number. if the government decided to have a negative stance on bit coin, they would look for active bit coin buyers/sellers and get hold of them and then get other contacts out of them.

2. you trade inside exchange. you give them your identity for KYC.
if the government decided to have a negative stance on bit coin, they would raid exchanges and get your info and contact you.

which option is better?please give me your opinions.


and micky123, bit coin's nature is lost when you convert it to rupees. i am talking about bit coin traders(those who sell/buy bit coins and deal with *rupees*). so i was talking about taxation from a rupees perspective. obviously government can't tax bit coins. it is if i convert it to rupees that i should tell the government about it.


I my opinion as a lawyer it is better to use the exchange as a mode of trading. Mainly because of two reasons-:

1. Trading through exchanges eliminates the risk of getting cheated. there are many people in this forum who have been cheated by one or various persons.

2. If you are trading in white money then it is always to have a paper trail which you can always refer to in case you want it. As I think most of the exchanges would be keeping a record of your transactions.

Now the second party of fear which every normal trader has "What if authorities take an action against us" -: As a lawyer I should save it for telling in my opinions for legal fee but since community as a whole has this issue I would like to tell that no government agency can arrest you for trading in bitcoin. Any regulation which may come in future cannot be in effect with retrospective effect (back dated). So if government bans it on 1.4.2016 (Example only) then any person who traded before 1.4.2016 cannot be incarcerated.

Have looked properly into the legal intricacies. You may file a criminal case if you are cheated, infact we were ready to pursue the matter as we look into the criminal matters also, however not many people came forward. Would love to get it in attention of judiciary. If government is not responding then the judiciary should.
