Thanks for the asicminervalue website, that was exactly what I was looking for.

Most miners are configurable to use different amounts of power though, with lower hash rates usually giving you more efficiency, so not sure what value you would end up using in such website.

For example, a Compac F USB miner can generate about 300 GH/s at 12W, but that can change up or down depending on the frequency you're running it at (and also assuming you have enough Amps per USB port).

With the Apollo BTC you can get about 2.1TH/s at around 120W, but of course that can also move up or down.

I think that a site would be fine with listing the hashrates and profitability rates of only the default frequency i.e. assuming a user doesn't try to tune a miner by using different frequencies (using official or unofficial means) - since that kind of list with all possible frequencies and configurations would inevitibly become out-of-hand.

I have a spreadsheet that does it

I figured that a continuously updated table (relative to the current difficulty) would list all of the current-generation ASICs - the ones that are still mostly used that is - and USB miners, and make a table of electricity prices denominated in (US) cents/kwh, with a third column reading the average profit of that miner if it were to run continuously with the current difficulty and electricity prices.

Has anyone ever made such a website before?

Note: I am not talking about mining profitability calculators.
