To be included as an Intervener in this application, individuals or entities (miners, developers, businesses) must provide evidence demonstrating that they have suffered financial or operational harm as a result of BTC Core’s changes to the Bitcoin protocol. Specifically, they must show that their investments, projects, or business models were based on the immutability of the original Bitcoin protocol and that these were undermined by BTC Core’s unilateral modifications.

Key Evidence to Provide:
1- Proof of Detrimental Reliance:
Miners: Evidence of investments in specialised ASIC mining hardware based on the original Bitcoin protocol. They should provide:
- Invoices, receipts, or other proof of hardware purchases.
- Operational records demonstrating how the protocol changes have reduced the efficiency or usability of their mining hardware.
- Expert reports or financial assessments quantifying the financial loss caused by the protocol changes.

Developers: Documentation showing reliance on the original protocol for software development. They should provide:
- Details of software projects that were abandoned or had to be significantly rewritten due to the protocol changes.
- Development timelines and associated costs.
Financial records or operational data showing the costs of redevelopment or losses due to project abandonment.

Businesses: Proof that their business models relied on the stability of the original protocol. They should provide:
- Business plans or operational documents showing how their services or products were built on the Bitcoin network as originally designed.
- Financial records detailing how the protocol changes have disrupted their operations, reduced their revenue streams, or caused customer loss.
- Records of investments made in business infrastructure that became obsolete or incompatible due to the protocol changes.

Impact of BTC Core’s Protocol Changes:
- All potential Interveners should demonstrate how BTC Core’s unilateral decisions caused substantial financial harm and undermined their long-term plans. This can include:
- Evidence of BTC Core's changes and how they were implemented.
- Documentation showing how the Intervener was unaware of the changes or only became aware too late to adapt, especially in cases of selective disclosure.
- Analysis or expert reports explaining how the protocol changes resulted in inefficiency, obsolescence, or operational disruption.

Testimony or Witness Statements:
Interveners should provide statements describing their reliance on the original Bitcoin protocol, how BTC Core’s changes impacted their operations or investments, and the financial losses incurred.

Legal Standing:
Interveners need to demonstrate their direct interest in the outcome of the case. They must show that their harm was not speculative but concrete and measurable, directly caused by BTC Core’s actions.

Overall, the Interveners must demonstrate:
- Financial reliance on the immutability of the original protocol.
- Significant harm due to BTC Core’s changes.
- Evidence-based claims that quantify the financial or operational losses resulting from BTC Core’s centralised control and selective disclosure.
This evidence is essential to show that the Interveners’ inclusion in the case is justified and that they have a substantial and direct interest in the legal proceedings.
