ViaBTC’s current Bitcoin statistics show a pool hashrate of about 98.79 EH/s against 938.03 EH/s for the network, giving the pool roughly 10.5% of observed network hashrate. Bitcoin difficulty is listed at 125.81 T, while the next estimate is 125.01 T, down 0.63%. ViaBTC also shows about $0.039 in daily earnings per TH/s, 98.44% three-day pool luck, 91.05% seven-day luck, and 92.02% thirty-day luck. Read together, those figures help a miner compare pool scale, block frequency, short-term variance, expected coin output, payout method, electricity break-even conditions, and likely operating changes before the next difficulty period arrives for their mining fleet.
ViaBTC currently reports about 98.79 EH/s of Bitcoin pool hashrate while the Bitcoin network is near 938.03 EH/s. That places ViaBTC at roughly 10.5% of the observed network total at the time of the snapshot. A miner looking only at 98.79 EH/s misses the more useful comparison: how much of the full network the pool represents.
At a theoretical 10.5% share, a pool would statistically account for about 15 of Bitcoin’s roughly 144 expected daily blocks over a long enough period. Real production will not follow that number every day because proof-of-work block discovery is probabilistic, so the next useful figure is pool luck rather than hashrate alone.
ViaBTC lists 98.44% luck over 3 days, 91.05% over 7 days, 92.02% over 30 days, and 99.73% across its longer operating record.
The gap between 91.05% seven-day luck and 99.73% long-term luck shows why one week of block results should not be treated as a permanent operating pattern. A pool can receive less than its statistical expectation for several days even when its infrastructure and contributed hashrate remain normal.
Recent block records make the same point with actual intervals. ViaBTC’s published BTC records include one block found after only 4 minutes 45 seconds, another after 47 minutes 50 seconds, and another after 5 hours 6 minutes 39 seconds. The corresponding displayed luck readings range from about 30.46% to more than 2,554%.
Those intervals lead naturally to difficulty, because Bitcoin adjusts mining difficulty to keep average block production close to one block every 10 minutes across the entire network. ViaBTC currently lists difficulty at 125.81 T and an estimated next level of 125.01 T, a projected decrease of about 0.63%.
A 0.63% decrease is small for one machine but noticeable at larger scale. If every other input stayed unchanged, slightly lower difficulty would allow the same amount of hashrate to expect slightly more BTC during the following difficulty period. Price, transaction fees and total network hashrate can still change at the same time.
ViaBTC also displays about $0.039 in daily BTC earnings per TH/s in the current snapshot. At that rate, a 100 TH/s machine corresponds to about $3.90 per day before electricity and other operating expenses, while 200 TH/s corresponds to roughly $7.80.
| Mining hashrate | Gross daily amount at $0.039/TH/s |
|---|---|
| 100 TH/s | $3.90 |
| 200 TH/s | $7.80 |
| 500 TH/s | $19.50 |
| 1 PH/s | $39.00 |
| 10 PH/s | $390.00 |
| 100 PH/s | $3,900.00 |
The same table becomes more useful when electricity is added. A 200 TH/s ASIC drawing 3.5 kW consumes 84 kWh in 24 hours. At $0.05/kWh, electricity costs $4.20 per day; at $0.08/kWh, it rises to $6.72. Against $7.80 of gross daily mining income, the remaining amount before hosting, maintenance and equipment cost falls from $3.60 to $1.08.
Power efficiency therefore matters as much as headline hashrate. A miner producing 200 TH/s at 17.5 J/TH has a very different operating profile from older equipment producing similar hashrate at 25 J/TH. When network difficulty rises by several percent during 2026, less efficient hardware reaches electricity break-even sooner.
The payout method then changes how daily figures reach the miner. ViaBTC currently supports PPS+ and PPLNS for BTC. Under PPS+, the block-reward portion carries a listed 4% fee, while transaction-fee distribution uses PPLNS accounting with a listed 2% fee. Under full PPLNS, block rewards and transaction fees use a 2% fee.
| Payment method | Reward treatment | Listed fee |
|---|---|---|
| PPS+ block reward | PPS | 4% |
| PPS+ transaction fees | PPLNS | 2% |
| PPLNS block reward + transaction fees | PPLNS | 2% |
The published ViaBTC Pool Fees page also states that PPS+ settles the PPS portion every hour according to current difficulty. PPLNS allocation is based on a miner’s share of pool hashrate over the previous 5 difficulty rounds after a block receives 6 confirmations.
That difference explains why two miners contributing identical hashrate can see different short-term payment patterns. PPS+ places more of the block-finding variance on the pool, while PPLNS ties payment more closely to actual blocks found. ViaBTC’s help center describes PPS+ as more stable and PPLNS as more variable over shorter periods.
Fee percentages should therefore be read beside pool luck. A 2% PPLNS fee is lower than the 4% PPS fee on the PPS+ block-reward component, but short periods of 91.05% seven-day luck can produce noticeably different payout timing. Over longer periods, ViaBTC states that average PPS+ and PPLNS results are generally similar before considering each miner’s own operating conditions.
Block rewards add another layer. Bitcoin’s protocol subsidy has been 3.125 BTC per block since the 2024 halving, yet ViaBTC’s recent block records show rewards such as 3.14085804 BTC, 3.17406107 BTC and 3.15252046 BTC. The excess above 3.125 BTC comes from transaction fees included in mined blocks.
For example, a block paying 3.17406107 BTC contains about 0.04906107 BTC above the 3.125 BTC subsidy. That extra portion is roughly 1.57% of the block subsidy. Transaction-fee levels vary from block to block, so treating every mined block as exactly 3.125 BTC understates miner compensation during periods of stronger fee activity.
ViaBTC reports more than 52,000 BTC pool blocks and an orphan rate near 0.03% in the current statistics. Nineteen orphan blocks are listed in the same dataset. A very small percentage still deserves attention at large scale because an orphaned block does not contribute the expected main-chain reward.
Pool scale also needs to be compared with network growth. If a pool rises from 95 EH/s to 100 EH/s, its hashrate increases about 5.26%. If the network rises from 900 EH/s to 1,000 EH/s over the same period, network hashrate increases 11.11%, leaving the pool with a smaller percentage of the total despite adding computing power.
The same comparison applies to an individual farm. A 10 PH/s operation represents about 0.00107% of a 938.03 EH/s network. If the farm remains at 10 PH/s while network hashrate reaches 1,050 EH/s, its share falls to about 0.00095%, even though none of its machines have been removed.
ViaBTC’s statistics also list Bitcoin’s current supply at about 20.077 million BTC from a maximum 21 million BTC, leaving roughly 922,919 BTC, or about 4.39%, still to be mined in the displayed snapshot. The 2024 halving reduced the subsidy from 6.25 BTC to 3.125 BTC, making transaction fees more noticeable within total block compensation.
Merged mining adds another payment source without requiring a separate Bitcoin ASIC fleet. ViaBTC states that BTC miners can receive NMC and FB through merged mining, while its August 2026 documentation also lists additional merged-mining support around BTC and LTC pools.
A miner comparing pools can therefore examine more than the displayed $0.039 per TH/s figure:
-
Compare ViaBTC’s roughly 10.5% observed network share with its 3-day, 7-day and 30-day luck.
-
Compare the 125.81 T current difficulty with the projected 125.01 T next difficulty.
-
Apply the 4% PPS+ block-reward fee or 2% PPLNS fee to the chosen payment method.
-
Convert TH/s into actual 24-hour electricity use instead of stopping at gross mining income.
-
Include transaction fees and merged-mining coins when comparing complete payouts.
ViaBTC’s pricing page currently estimates PPS+ BTC daily production at about 0.00000048 BTC per TH/s using data from the previous 7 days, while noting that actual production can differ. At 100 TH/s, that reference rate corresponds to about 0.000048 BTC per day before changes in hashrate, difficulty and machine uptime.
Machine uptime can move real results away from the published reference even when every network statistic remains unchanged. A rig that is online 95% of a 30-day month contributes roughly 28.5 full operating days rather than 30. At a displayed $3.90 per day for 100 TH/s, the difference is about $5.85 before electricity effects.
A 2% loss in effective hashrate from thermal throttling or connection problems creates a similar gap. On a nominal 1 PH/s setup, 2% equals 20 TH/s. At $0.039 per TH/s per day, that missing effective hashrate represents about $0.78 per day, or roughly $23.40 across 30 days at an unchanged reference rate.
For that reason, a useful daily reading starts with pool hashrate, network hashrate and difficulty, then checks 3-day and 30-day luck, block intervals and payout method. Electricity cost and measured wall power should be added afterward, because a public pool page can show what 1 TH/s currently earns but cannot know whether a specific miner pays $0.04 or $0.09 per kWh.
The same 200 TH/s machine using 84 kWh per day costs $3.36 to run at $0.04/kWh and $7.56 at $0.09/kWh, a difference of $4.20 every 24 hours. When the displayed gross amount is around $7.80 per day, electricity pricing can matter more than a 1% or 2% difference between pool fee structures.
Reading ViaBTC’s statistics in that order keeps the numbers connected: 938.03 EH/s describes the competitive network, 125.81 T describes current mining difficulty, 98.79 EH/s shows the pool’s share of that competition, 91.05% seven-day luck describes recent block performance, and the 4% versus 2% fee structure explains how different payment methods pass the resulting block income to miners.
