ViaBTC Revenue Sharing follows a next-day schedule: amounts accumulated during an HKT accounting day are distributed to the receiving ViaBTC account the following day. If a payment appears to be missing, first check whether you are waiting for an internal Revenue Sharing credit or a withdrawal to an external wallet.
Revenue Sharing allows a mining account to automatically allocate a configured percentage of its mining income to other ViaBTC accounts. A missing payment can involve three separate stages: settlement of the source account's mining income, internal Revenue Sharing distribution, or withdrawal from the recipient's ViaBTC account. Each stage has its own rules.
Identify Which Stage Is Delayed
- No new settled mining earnings in the source account: Check the underlying mining-income settlement.
- Mining earnings have settled, but no Revenue Sharing credit is recorded: Check the sharing schedule, configuration, distribution history, and source-account balance.
- The Revenue Sharing credit appears in the recipient's ViaBTC account, but funds have not reached an external wallet: Check the withdrawal process.
Use the relevant earnings and transaction records to identify the stage before troubleshooting further.
Revenue Sharing Follows a Daily, Next-Day Schedule
According to ViaBTC's Revenue Sharing documentation, daily sharing amounts accumulate from 00:00 to 24:00 Hong Kong Time (HKT, UTC+8) and are distributed to the designated receiving account the following day under a T+1 process.
For example, an amount accumulated during Monday's HKT accounting day is scheduled for distribution on Tuesday. It should not be treated as missing simply because it has not arrived on Monday.
The documentation does not specify a fixed clock time for next-day distribution. Compare the relevant accounting date with the following HKT calendar day rather than assuming distribution happens at midnight.
Settings take effect immediately after saving. If you changed the configuration during the day, review the latest percentage and sharing records before calculating the expected amount. The documentation states that the system freezes part of the current day's mining yield according to the latest sharing percentage, but does not fully explain how every mid-day change affects the final allocation.
Check Whether the Source Account Had Sufficient Balance at Settlement
ViaBTC's documentation identifies insufficient source-account balance at settlement as a condition that can prevent normal Revenue Sharing accumulation.
Review the source account's settlement and balance history around the relevant HKT accounting date. If the balance was insufficient, do not assume the missing amount will automatically carry forward and be paid later: the public documentation does not clearly establish that catch-up behavior.
If a sharing amount appears to have been missed because of insufficient balance, use the sharing records and contact ViaBTC support to confirm how that specific amount was handled.
Verify the Active Revenue Sharing Configuration
Review the following in the Revenue Sharing settings:
- The cryptocurrency selected for sharing, since each coin is configured independently.
- The receiving ViaBTC account.
- The configured percentage.
- Whether the settings were saved successfully and when they were last changed.
For Litecoin, ViaBTC's documentation describes an option to apply sharing to merged-mining revenues such as DOGE and BELLS. If those revenues were intended to be included, confirm that the corresponding option was selected when configuring LTC Revenue Sharing.
Confirm That the Underlying Mining Income Has Settled
Check the source account's earnings history to confirm whether the income you expected to share has settled.
ViaBTC's profit-calculation documentation describes two relevant settlement mechanisms:
- PPS+: The block-reward component is paid hourly under PPS rules. Transaction-fee income is settled separately under PPLNS rules.
- PPLNS: Income is calculated using the account's share of pool hashrate over the last five difficulty rounds, with settlement after a pool-found block completes six confirmations.
For PPLNS mining, income may remain unsettled while the pool is waiting to find a block or for the required confirmations. Under PPS+, this waiting condition applies to the PPLNS-based transaction-fee component; it does not mean the PPS block-reward component must also wait for the pool to find a block.
An upstream settlement delay is different from a Revenue Sharing distribution problem. Likewise, insufficient balance at the sharing settlement point does not, by itself, explain an absence of new mining earnings.
If the Credit Reached ViaBTC but Not an External Wallet
Once a Revenue Sharing credit appears in the recipient's ViaBTC account, check whether the recipient is using automatic or manual withdrawal.
If You Use Auto-Withdrawal
Auto-withdrawal operates separately from Revenue Sharing. ViaBTC processes auto-withdrawals once per day between 10:00 and 18:00 GMT+8, subject to the applicable payout conditions.
The minimum configurable BTC auto-withdrawal threshold is 0.0001 BTC. Your account may have a higher threshold configured, so check the actual setting. This threshold applies to BTC auto-withdrawal to an external address, not to internal Revenue Sharing distribution.
The selected payout mode also affects the amount eligible for withdrawal:
- Payout by Account Balance: The account balance is paid out when the applicable minimum payout condition is met.
- Payout by Daily Earnings: The calculation reserves mining earnings settled on the payout day. The documented formula is: payout amount = account balance − today's settled mining earnings.
ViaBTC explicitly states that incoming Revenue Sharing earnings are added to the account balance and included in the payout calculation. Do not assume that a sharing credit is excluded merely because it arrived that day. Whether a payout proceeds depends on the calculated eligible amount, the configured threshold, and withdrawal processing.
If You Use Manual Withdrawal or Already Have a Transaction ID
For a manual withdrawal, check the withdrawal record and its current status.
If an external withdrawal has a transaction ID, check its status on the relevant block explorer. A receiving exchange or wallet may require a specific number of network confirmations before crediting the deposit, independently of ViaBTC's processing.
A Practical Troubleshooting Checklist
- Identify the relevant HKT accounting date and check whether the following day's Revenue Sharing distribution is still pending within the normal T+1 schedule.
- Determine whether the missing amount concerns source-account mining income, internal Revenue Sharing, or an external withdrawal.
- Review the source account's earnings history to confirm that the relevant mining income has settled.
- Verify the sharing coin, receiving account, percentage, saved configuration, and any recent changes.
- Review the Revenue Sharing history for the relevant date. If no allocation is recorded, check whether the source account had sufficient balance at settlement.
- If a distribution was recorded, check the recipient's asset history to confirm the internal credit.
- If the credit arrived but an external payment did not, check the withdrawal method. For auto-withdrawal, review the payout mode, configured threshold, and processing window. For manual withdrawal, review the withdrawal status.
- If a transaction ID exists, check network confirmations and the receiving platform's deposit requirements. If the records still do not explain the missing amount, contact ViaBTC support with the relevant account identifiers, coin, HKT accounting date, and transaction or sharing records.
FAQ
Does Revenue Sharing distribute mining income the same day it is earned?
No. ViaBTC accumulates daily sharing amounts using Hong Kong Time and distributes them to the receiving account the following day under a T+1 process. The public documentation does not specify an exact distribution hour.
Is 0.0001 BTC the minimum amount required for Revenue Sharing to distribute funds?
No. 0.0001 BTC is the minimum configurable BTC auto-withdrawal threshold for an external address. Your actual configured threshold may be higher. It is not the threshold for an internal Revenue Sharing credit.
Why does my source account show no new mining earnings?
First check the payment method and the relevant earnings component. PPLNS income may be waiting for a pool-found block and the required confirmations. Under PPS+, the transaction-fee component follows PPLNS rules, while the PPS block-reward component is paid hourly. If expected PPS earnings are absent, the PPLNS explanation alone does not resolve the issue.
Why are settled mining earnings not appearing as Revenue Sharing in the receiving account?
Check the T+1 schedule, the saved sharing configuration, distribution records, and whether the source account had sufficient balance at settlement. Do not assume an amount missed because of insufficient balance will automatically be paid later; confirm its treatment with ViaBTC support.
I see the Revenue Sharing credit in ViaBTC, but not in my external wallet. What should I check?
Confirm whether you use automatic or manual withdrawal. For auto-withdrawal, check the selected payout mode, configured threshold, and daily 10:00–18:00 GMT+8 processing window. Incoming Revenue Sharing earnings participate in the payout calculation. If a transaction ID exists, check its confirmation status and the receiving platform's deposit requirements.
