Professional miners use ViaBTC Mining Statistics because the platform brings machine output, pool-side hashrate, worker status, rejected shares, network difficulty, pool luck, block records, and mining earnings into one view. ViaBTC states that a rejection rate within 3% is generally normal, while its current statistics page reports pool hashrate, network hashrate, difficulty, daily earnings, luck, blocks, and orphan rate. Its 2026 payment rules also show why payout data needs context: PPS+ uses a 4% fee on the block-reward component and 2% on transaction fees, while PPLNS uses a 2% fee. For a large mining operation, these figures help staff compare expected machine output with credited pool performance rather than relying only on ASIC screens.
The main reason professional miners pay attention to pool statistics is the gap between the hashrate shown by a machine and the hashrate actually recognized by the pool. An ASIC can remain powered on and display its rated output while network delay, rejected shares, temperature problems, or firmware issues reduce the amount of useful work reaching the pool. ViaBTC specifically notes that its pool-side hashrate can be lower than the figure reported by the miner itself when connectivity or other technical conditions interfere with share submission.
For a small operation, a minor difference may not justify much attention. A professional site operating 1,000 machines, however, can turn a small percentage gap into a substantial monthly difference in credited hashrate.
A simple operating check can look like this:
| Metric | Why miners check it | Useful signal |
|---|---|---|
| Pool hashrate | Measures credited computing power | Falling for several hours |
| Rejection rate | Shows invalid or late submissions | Above 3% needs review |
| Worker count | Shows active equipment | Sudden drops |
| 10-minute / hourly trend | Shows short disruptions | Fast decline |
| Daily earnings | Connects output with payout | Lower than expected |
| Network difficulty | Adds wider network context | Higher difficulty can reduce output |
ViaBTC's current statistics page also publishes network hashrate, current difficulty, estimated next difficulty, pool hashrate, daily earnings, pool luck, block counts, and orphan-rate data. When checked in September 2026, the page showed roughly 938 EH/s of network hashrate, 98.79 EH/s of pool hashrate, 125.81 T difficulty, and a 0.03% orphan rate; these figures are time-sensitive and should be treated as a snapshot rather than a fixed benchmark.
That network context matters because a miner can keep the same hardware output and still receive less cryptocurrency over time when network difficulty rises. ViaBTC's May 2026 guidance states that difficulty adjustments generally reduce mining yield when miners maintain the same hashrate, while halving events can also reduce block-based output.
A professional operator therefore compares at least three layers of information: local ASIC output, pool-side hashrate, and network conditions. A decline visible in all three points toward an external or network-wide change, while a decline limited to one site or worker group points toward an equipment or connectivity issue.
Rejection rate is another reason the statistics page matters. ViaBTC states that a rejection rate within 3% is generally normal, while a sharp increase can indicate unstable network connections, high machine temperature, or firmware problems.
The practical use is simple: miners can compare the rejection percentage with time, temperature, and worker status instead of looking at one number by itself. If rejection rises from around 1% to 4% during hotter operating hours, for example, cooling and machine temperature deserve attention before replacing hardware.
ViaBTC has also published a 2023 KAS example showing how miner-side configuration can affect rejected work. Its guidance lists reference settings of 512 difficulty for a 2 TH/s miner, 1,024 for 4 TH/s, 1,280 for 5 TH/s, and 2,048 for 8 TH/s, while noting that actual settings should match the mining configuration.
Those numbers show why professional monitoring often works best when statistics are paired with machine specifications. A large farm can group miners by model, hashrate class, firmware, location, and network segment, then compare rejection behavior across those groups.
Worker-level data adds another layer. ViaBTC provides monitoring for miner status, hashrate, and related account information, and its alert system can send notifications when hashrate or rejection rate reaches a selected threshold.
This is useful when hundreds of workers are spread across several rooms or sites. If 40 machines go offline within a few minutes, a shared power, network, or rack issue becomes more likely than 40 unrelated hardware failures.
The alert system can also send email, app, or Telegram notifications, and ViaBTC states that Telegram alerts can cover worker-offline and rejection-rate changes. A site team can therefore receive a notification before waiting for the next scheduled inspection.
Earnings statistics need the same level of context. ViaBTC currently supports PPS+ and PPLNS; under PPS+, the block-reward component uses a 4% fee and hourly distribution based on current difficulty, while the transaction-fee component uses a 2% fee and a PPLNS method.
Under PPLNS, ViaBTC lists a 2% fee and distributes rewards according to each user's share of pool hashrate over the previous five difficulty rounds after the relevant block receives six confirmations. A miner looking at one day's payout therefore needs to know which settlement method was active before comparing the number with another period.
The difference can be shown simply:
-
PPS+: more predictable block-reward payments, with hourly distribution.
-
PPLNS: payout depends more directly on pool blocks and recent hashrate contribution.
-
PPS+: 4% fee on the block-reward component and 2% on transaction fees.
-
PPLNS: 2% fee on the combined block-reward and transaction-fee output.
ViaBTC's published pricing page also lists estimated average daily earnings per unit of hashrate; for BTC, the current page showed 0.00000048 BTC per TH/s per day and approximately 98.31% of PPS, based on the previous 7 days. The page explicitly says these figures are estimates and actual earnings can differ.
That 7-day window is useful for comparison, but it should not be treated as a guaranteed future payout. Difficulty changes, transaction-fee conditions, pool luck, and machine performance can all alter the result, which ViaBTC also notes in its May 2026 earnings guidance.
Pool luck is another figure professionals watch because short periods can vary substantially from longer periods. On the September 2026 statistics page, ViaBTC displayed separate 3-day, 7-day, 30-day, and total-luck figures, allowing users to compare recent block production with a longer operating history.
For example, a short-period luck reading of 70% does not automatically indicate a technical fault. If machine hashrate, worker availability, and rejection rate remain normal while pool luck moves lower, the issue may simply be statistical variance in block discovery rather than a machine problem.
The same approach applies to orphan blocks. The statistics page showed 19 orphan blocks out of 52,780 total blocks, with an orphan rate of 0.03% in the displayed historical record.
Professional miners can use this information when comparing historical pool performance, but the number should still be read alongside the date range. A historical rate measured over tens of thousands of blocks gives a different picture from a rate calculated from only a few recent blocks.
ViaBTC's scale also helps explain why detailed statistics matter. The company states that it serves more than 1 million users across 150+ countries and regions, and it was founded in May 2016. A large international user base requires monitoring tools that can separate account-level conditions from broader pool conditions.
For users who share mining information within professional communities, the ViaBTC Ambassador Program is a separate referral program rather than a mining-statistics feature. ViaBTC currently states that Ambassador referrals receive 20% of eligible platform-fee revenue from referred users while the ambassador status remains valid, compared with 10% for the general referral tier.
The program has measurable eligibility requirements as well. ViaBTC currently says applicants need at least 5 valid referred users in the previous month, while maintaining Ambassador status requires at least 10 valid referred users each month; failing that requirement for 3 consecutive months can lead to removal of Ambassador status.
For mining operators, however, the more relevant point remains the statistics themselves. A professional review can compare pool hashrate, worker availability, rejection percentage, network difficulty, earnings per unit of hashrate, payment method, pool luck, and historical block data over the same time period.
A practical review cycle can use a 24-hour snapshot for immediate issues, a 7-day window for operational comparison, and a 30-day record for broader performance review. Using multiple periods reduces the chance of treating a temporary 10-minute change as a lasting equipment problem.
The data is especially useful when maintenance costs are high. If one machine group repeatedly shows lower pool hashrate, higher rejection, and more offline events than another group over 30 days, technicians have a measurable basis for checking firmware, network paths, cooling, or hardware rather than relying on informal reports.
For this reason, professional miners do not use ViaBTC Mining Statistics simply to see whether their rigs are online. They use the data to compare local output with pool-side results, separate machine issues from network conditions, understand why payout figures change, and keep a consistent record across 1-day, 7-day, and 30-day periods. The statistics become most useful when several readings are compared at the same time instead of being viewed as isolated numbers.
