 ## Choosing a subnet
 
-All mining in Bittensor occurs within a subnet. Each subnet independently produces the digital commodities that are its purpose, each subnet creator defining a different _incentive mechanism_ for validators to use in judging miners' work. It is validators scores of miners' performance, according to this incentive mechanism, that determines the proportion of the subnet's emissions allocated to each miner. See [Emissions](../emissions.md).

 ## Miner deregistration
 
-Miners as well as validators can be deregistered if their emissions are low.
+A miner can be deregistered if it earns low emissions due to receiving low weights (ratings) from validators. Typical subnets have 256 UID slots per subnet, of which a maximum of 64 subnet can be occupied by validators.

+- A subnet miner or validator at a UID (in that subnet) has a defined number of blocks to improve its performance. This is known as `immunity_period`. When the `immunity_period` expires, that miner or validator can be deregistered if it has the lowest performance in the subnet and a new registration arrives.
+- A neuron's `immunity_period` starts when the miner or validator is registered into the subnet.
+  Validators as well as miners can be deregistered if their emissions are low; either role requires a UID.
 
 Typically, subnets have 256 UID slots, with a maximum of 64 slots capable of serving as validators by default. This leaves 192 UIDs for miners, though if there are fewer than 64 eligible validators on a subnet, miners can occupy available slots.
