There are three miner distribution charts

## Miner Incentive Distribution

This chart shows the incentive values for all miners on the subnet.  The lowest active key shows where the cutoff is for active miners, and the next UID to be expelled on new registration.   The shape of the chart is an indication of how competitive a subnet is (a narrow distribution indicates a competitive subnet where all miners are at risk of re-registration(.

Also note that this table can be animated to see how the distribution changes over time.

## Miner Coldkey Distribution

Each miner has a unique hotkey, but the hotkeys can be controlled by a single coldkey.  This chart displays how many organizations are running multiple miners in the subnet.

## Miner IP Distribution
