The real question is how does the release of the A3s affect the difficulty of mining the coin.

Consider this chart and the green area that is almost going exponential.

Over the last 7 days the network hash rate went from 470TH to almost 6400 TH.... If this trend continues I suspect you are looking at a decrease of 1/2 the mining value almost per week at the current trend line.

I really hope it plateus somewhere, but I have no idea how many miners bitmain made... so its very hard to tell.
