Ok Lets compare the two latest Deals. Aphria and NUU vs Canopy and Annabis.
I'm long both, For different reasons, and some overlapping reasons. I think both companies are run well, I believe both will be jockying for position for years to come. I firmly believe Aphria's valuation is stunted due to their US assets, Lack of clarity, and mis-representation through social media. I also believe Canopies Valuation is inflated due to market sentiment, back story, and generally being the most well known Cannabis company onthe planet. in the end, Both are startups, Both are international, and Both will suceed
Say what you want, That's how I feel.
I should add, I haven’t yet listened to the conference call or read the MD&A, I’m a full time house husband this week, and my kids are damn messy.
If your one of the people saying NUU doesn't have any hard assets, only Handshake deals...your not going to like this
Note 1) Aphria's Investor Deck
Germany ^{pop 80+million}
NUU Germany Storage and Packaging Facility - 11,300 square-foot property in Bad Bramstedt - expected to meet the most stringent requirements for the storage of controlled substances in Germany and the EU - Storage Facility to be completed and operations Q2-2018 - Packaging Facility will also contain a GMP certified packaging and processing facility, allowing Nuuvera to prepare bulk material shipped from Canada to Germany.
NUU Shortlisted for German Licence one of 10 remaining companies from an original pool of over 100. - Given Aphria's track record for Purity and Quality, as well as Dealers License, Id say they have an extremely good shot at getting a license. They are creating jobs in the country, and have physical property already.
CC Pharma, 13,000 pharmacy Distribution Network - Auroras German company supplies 1500 Pharmacies at last count. I'm not shitting on Aurora, This is just a comparison for Distribution network size. I realize ACB Owns Pedanios.
Aquired 25.1% stake in Berlin based Shoneberg Hospital - Cost of €1.2M - The first step in Deutschland's plans to build and operate pain treatment centers throughout German - Deutschland is also participating in the German tender process for in-country cultivation and maintains an existing supply agreement with one of the largest pharmaceutical distribution companies with access to over 13,000 pharmacies in Germany.
Italy ^{pop 60+million}
NUU Receives 1 of 7 Italian Licences

acquired through the purchase of 100% of the issued and outstanding shares in the Genoa based FL-Group, making Nuuvera the first Canadian cannabis company to hold a license to serve the Italian market.

• Aurora made the first shipment, They’rr not the only Player in the game.
• So That gives NUU/Aphria Solid Assets in Italy, Not just the LOI/MOU people seem to think is happening.

Spain ^{pop 46+million}
NUU LOI to purchase Medalchemy S.L. and 30% of Canamo y Fibra Naturales S.L. - Medalchemy is located on the premises of a university, with 10+ years experience in production and extraction of API's) - CAFINA, NUU/APH intends to purchase cultivated Cannabis from them, as well as hemp to use in CBD extraction. This will also become a JV where CAFINA will own a minority interest in NUU Subsidiary that controls Medalchemy. - One hand feeds the Other. - That's 4 Hard assets in 3 countries so far. So much for "NUU brings nothing to the table"
Malta ^{pop 436+ thousand}
NUU Acquires ASG Pharma - GMP Certified Lab - Expected to be a Hub for Oil based medical production to the EU

Through its subsidiary, ARA Avanti RX Analytics, Nuuvera is the only international medical cannabis company that has a standalone Health Canada GMP approved facility that is authorized to conduct commercial scale activities with respect to cannabis and other cannabinoids.
Avanti A source of Confusion for many - This is the reason the Aphria/NUU deal went from $1.00 cash to $0.60 $0.62cash ^{MD&A Q3-2018} .It was not a suprise to anyone following NUU, But again, The market news makers only every report half the story, and 90% of investors only read the headline. So instead of "NUU Buys 100% of Avanti before Aphria Aquisition" we saw "Aphria Cuts into NUU Share holders pockets" Avanti RX News Page is full of goo reading material

5 hard assets in 4 countries, Lets keep going :)
Uruguay ^{pop 3.4 million}
Avanti deal with ICC Labs for CBD - This is actually news to me. Ive seen some talk on the boards but attributed it to rumors. Good deal for ICC Labs, Deal is for 2018, Lets see what 2019 brings.
Lesotho ^{pop 2.2+ million}
Offtake Agreemend

The offtake agreement with Verve is very exciting," said Lorne Abony, CEO of Nuuvera. "Nuuvera will be the first Canadian company to have access to high quality, low cost cannabis produced in the African continent." - I don't fully understand whats going on here, I'm assuming NUU/APH will re-sell these products on Continental Africa. Its a foot in the door anyways. - NUU has access to 3,000kg of purified GMP Certified THC and CBD extract per year, with ability to increase. Good, Now lets see some plans to offload it! - Finalized Deal May 28 2018

United Kingdom ^{pop 65+million} Import deal with ISOL - 30,000kg CBD isolate a month? Gotta be a typo. Aphrias Investor Deck says 30Kg. We're talking about 99% pure CBD Isolate, Im going to go with 30Kg, not 30,000kg - This is coming through Avanti Rx and taking advantage of their Narcotics Dealers License. - Planning to use this for R&D, Given the amount of Fake CBD products on the market, and the growing demand for the real deal, Having a 99% pure supply, with an experienced R&D lab, and a Narcotics dealers license....I smell money.
Israel ^{8.5+ million}

• Ok, I'll give the haters this one. Someone want to fill me in on anything happening here? Nothing hard in the news department, Nothing of note in any of the companies (NUU, APH, AVANTI) releases. Just the odd mention of "currently working with partners"

Thanks to u/VicLinton and u/Prof-Ferrero,
It seems that there are some management connections. The Koffler family (who ownes Pharmasave) also own a chain of Pharmacy’s in Israel, Poland and China called Super-Pharm
This could be the Israel connection. 202 pharmacies in Israel, 40 in Poland. Shawn Koffler is on Nuuvera’s Exec team as Global Marketing and Strategy Director
hmmm..... - Upon digging and digging and digging I came across this line in many of the "About Nuuvera" portions of the NR's

Through its subsidiaries, ARA – Avanti Rx Analytics Inc. and Avalon Pharmaceutical Inc

Avalon u/droots2 turned over some rocks According to this NR from Aphria, the Avalon in question is this one, In Saudi-Arabia Upon reaching out to APH IR, the link has been removed from their NR,

Avalon is a late stage Licensed Producer applicant under the Access to Cannabis for Medical Purposes Regulations. Health Canada has granted Avalon permission to proceed with the construction of its cultivation facility located in Brampton, Ontario and Avalon anticipates completion and full production in Q2 2018.

New Brunswick ^{2.5Million gram MOU} NUU MOU with NB - well its better than nothing. 2.5million grams at wholesale with Aphria's margins? I'm drooling already.
NUU Managment Connections

So maybe APH paid a small premium for NUU, But its not nearly as bad as what some people think. NUU comes with Physical Assets in multiple contries, 1 of 7 licences in Italy, 1 of 10 Finalist for Germany with Physical assets already int he country, Actual on paper supply agreements in Africa and the Middle East, Some Israel rumors, and above all else, ownership of a GMP certified Lab, and access to others (Plural). Maybe, Just Maybe, Aphria and Co have a better idea of whats going on than us Plebs on reddit.
Im an Aphria Long, Im ok with their stunted growth due to US exposure, Im ok with their media Blackouts. Because in a few years, When push comes to shove, and Money talks....only a few companies will have cash in Hand to buy assets on sale.
I need to take a break, Hopefully I can dig into Canopys Czech deal starting today. If anyone beats me to it Ill buy you a drink in the Martini Bar tonight. As always, I welcome all criticism, If Ive missed facts or gotten something wrong, By all means throw it up and I'll edit/add credit where due.
Edited for spelling, grammar and such. Edited to add NR and description of Avalon Edited to add Management connections - NUU brings Greg Taylor - I’ll just post he link to NUU Boards page Edited to add 25.1% Acquisition of German Clinic

We all want and strive for the best, be it anything - even a casino. Gone are the days when one has to move physically to visit casinos by the use of a car with valet parking - and after that being presented with all of the formalities and conditions of the land-based casino. Cut this entire conventional casino gaming as now online casinos are the rage for the people who love casino games. One of the most reputed brand on the list of top online casinos is Swiss casino.
Swiss casino is somewhat of a snowy mountain dream for every casino player that has now turned in to reality. The only step, which one will have to take to access the casino games, is to download the software. You can conveniently download the software from their website, as the downloading is free.
The featured jackpots at this casino are certainly progressive and unbelievably high. Many players at Swiss Casino have been lucky enough to win these jackpots. For the sake of assurance, you can read the testimonials of members who have won the jackpots at the website itself and in gambling forums.
The vendor and holder of Swiss Casino is Bwin Party Digital Entertainment Plc. This owner is among one of the world's largest and most dignified companies of online gaming. The Bwin Party Digital Entertainment Plc is not only the member of the FTSE 250 index, but it is also listed on the London Stock Exchange. The Global Gaming Network (GGN) features 11 gaming sites and Swiss casino is one of them. GGN also takes on the responsibility of managing the casino.
The playing environment and casino software is secure and safe as the government of Gibraltar licenses it, and along with that, operations are conducted under the gambling act from 2005. The privacy and comfort of customers is the first main concern of Swiss casino and they have some of the best staff to cater their customers.
The gaming options are great as there are more than 200 casino games available, giving players the option to choose from a variety of thrills according to their taste and preference. There are of course the mandatory slot games, card games - as well as almost all of the classic table games. Players will also enjoy the option of detailed previews of each game at the website.
At Swiss casino, players also have the option of becoming a VIP member which will result in additional incentives and bonuses, by far more than that of what casual customers will receive.
Swiss casino has a nice buddy referral program in place too, which means that players can invite their own friends to play at the site. This option of inviting and playing with friends is not only entertaining - but also gives some excellent commissions. If you are able to make your friends sign up at the casino, then you will be getting an extra bonus of 25%, which means a 25% bonus for every friend invited.

FunFair has been up to a lot of things, and thus, the post made a few months ago is quite outdated. I’ve written this just to keep the subreddit updated, and to have a nicely formatted post full of information regarding FunFair for both newcomers and “veterans”. This post will be updated more often than not, and when the time comes for a new one again, it shall be written! Cheers.

What is FunFair?

FunFair is a decentralized gaming technology platform which uses the Ethereum blockchain, smart contracts, and proprietary state channels (Fate Channels) to deliver casino solutions with state of the art games that are fast, fun, and fair.
FunFair is not a casino. Instead, FunFair will license its technology out to casino operators. Being a casino carries with it risks and burdens stemming from statutory and regulatory hurdles. Being a licensing entity instead, provides legal safeguards and will enable a more widely used platform.

Why was FunFair created?

There are many costs, headaches, and complications with online casinos. Briefly, they are the fees associated with operations (servers, infrastructure, large employee-base, fraudulent activity investigations, chargebacks) etc. Attracting players and gaining their trust comes afterwards, which is another issue within itself. There is a blatant trust issue with conventional online gaming that FunFair aims to diminish, while creating a seamless experience for both operator and player.

The Market.

Online gambling is a large market: Currently over 47.1 billion dollars in market volume and projected to continue increasing quite exponentially. FunFair is also attempting to capture a new market of casino operators and players that aren’t currently factored into this estimate.

The Team.

The FunFair team consists of 40+ developers, industry executives, and professionals. They have one of the largest teams in cryptocurrency. Feel free to check them out on their website: https://funfair.io/how-it-works/our-team/
Notably, the first five employee profiles presented on the website are:
Jez San OBE, Founder, CEO

Jez founded Argonaut Software in his teens and designed the first chip used to power 3D games including multi-million-selling Star Fox, Harry Potter and Croc. He also founded 3D online poker room PKR and microprocessor developer Arc International.
Since 2013 Jez has been an active investor in the blockchain and cryptocurrency sector. His investments include Google’s DeepMind and online cryptocurrency exchange Kraken.
Jeremy Longley, Founder, CTO
Over 15 years’ experience managing technology teams – from the development of advanced video-game software through to the deployment and operation of enterprise-scale infrastructure.
Oliver Hopton, Founder, Developer
Oliver Hopton is an experience developer and team lead with over 15 years experience building gaming products. He spent 10 years working at online poker room PKR as Software Development Manager working on a huge variety of administration tools and integrations with 3rd party gaming content and providers. Heavily involved in technical compliance for gaming license applications in Guernsey, the UK, France, Italy and Denmark.
He then spent 18 months as CTO of EveryFan, responsible for architecting and building a UK facing sports betting product.
David Greyling, COO

With extensive leadership experience in Digital marketing and E-commerce international companies, David specialises in leading business integration and transformation programmes.

Stef is an industry executive with with a wealth of experience, having headed up the marketing functions of both PokerStars and bwin.party - two of the biggest brands in online gambling.

Career Opportunities

Further, FunFair is looking to expand – and fast. They expect to have a team of 50+ people in the not-so-distant future, as they are currently hiring developers, business and marketing professionals, and so forth. So, if you’re looking for an opportunity to showcase your expertise in these fields, try your shot at securing a position within the company! (https://www.funfair.io/careers) The FunFair team’s base of operations is in London, UK.
Some of the positions currently offered in the United Kingdom, England, London:

• C#/Javascript Developer
• C#/Javascript Developer - Domain
• C#/Javascript Developer - KYC
• Community Manager
• Senior Business Analyst
• UI Developer
• Senior Developer - Typescript
• VP Product Owner

When did they start the project?

Technically, FunFair started on June 22nd, 2017, because all FUN tokens that will ever exist were created on this day. However, the idea, technology, and product were being developed before the ICO started.

What have they accomplished to date?

FunFair have accomplished a lot since their inception- consistently updating development, business operations, and hiring many new staff. From Sponsoring DevCon 3, receiving awards from the Malta Gaming Awards, excellent showcase updates, and launching their product to the gaming industry at the International Casino Exhibition which boasted over 30,000 industry attendees, they have been on track to their public release. With the release of the closed beta right around the corner, the future is bright for FunFair.

Ok, so what is the technology? What are they developing?

FunFair is building their decentralized platform and protocol on top of Ethereum’s blockchain. FunFair is developing the game technology, and their proprietary, advanced state channel technology which they call Fate Channels. The platform that FunFair has created and continues to develop, will allow anyone to run a casino in just a few clicks, allow third party developers to distribute and integrate their own games to a new, global audience, while creating the ultimate casino experience for end users.
Fate Channels are FunFair’s custom, proprietary version of State Channels. They are superior technology to current State Channels, as they are what support the communication during game sessions between player and casino, while executing entire game logic and random number generation off-chain. They provide a fast, low cost method for RNG, starting game sessions, ending them, and settling with smart contracts on the blockchain. There is only one gas fee needed to start the game session, which solves scalability issues with platforms like Ethereum.
For an in-depth explanation that you won’t be disappointed in reading, please refer to the technical white paper here: https://funfair.io/wp-content/uploads/FunFair-Technical-White-Paper.pdf

What really happens in the Fate Channels?

FunFair’s random number generation is executed within the Fate Channel, and is a commit/reveal scheme that makes it provably fair. There are also a hash chain to prove that the overall sequence is indeed fair.
A player enters a FunFair-powered casino with some FUN tokens in their wallet, and then both the casino and player send FUN tokens from each of their personal wallets into a smart contract which then holds the FUN in escrow via the Fate Channels (off-chain) until the player cashes out/closes the channel.
The player and casino swap random seeds that they have generated locally, and these are then hashed numerous times by both parties in private. The sequence of hashes are stored locally by each party. There could be thousands of hashes, which become the random numbers, and are passed one by one, in reverse order, by the casino to the player and vice versa when the game needs randomness. Since the hashes are in reverse order, a new hash will always hash into the previous one, so that it can be verified that it’s the correct value of the next hash. The first hash is committed in the state channel on the blockchain as it was opened, and this is what will be used later to reveal that the random number generation was correct.
The position that a ball lands on in a roulette spin, for example, is computed this way. The two hashes provided by both player and casino are combined into a random number that neither side could have predicted. It’s provably fair because because it can be shown that they come from the same hash chain in the correct sequence, and it can be shown after the game session is over, using the reveal to show the seed was in fact, committed to the blockchain in advance of the games played.
The random number generation scheme works extremely fast, and is not dependent and waiting on the blockchain for verification every time, yet it is provably fair in both randomness and sequence. It is easy to detect cheating by either side (for instance, the random number generations would go out of sequence). The security of the hash chain is what makes the randomness unpredictable. If it is possible to reverse a hash, you could predict the random number generation. FunFair uses SHA-3 for hash generation, which has not been reversed yet, and is likely to last in strength for some decades.

The platform.

FunFair presents its casino operators and players with a gaming opportunity never seen before:

• Decentralized, essentially serverless
• Provably fair, blockchain-based
• Trust-less outcomes that can be witnessed on verifiable smart contracts
• Instant cashouts - casinos do not hold your funds

• Fun games with an exciting user interface
• Casinos feel safer, with no risk of fraudulent charge-backs from player credit cards
• Fast gameplay conducted through Fate Channels – the team’s custom version of State Channels.
  
• FunFair is preparing for mass adoption and has a working solution for Ethereum network congestion.
  

The games.

FunFair is pursuing a full suite of traditional casino games:

• Blackjack
• Baccarat
• Craps
• Roulette
• Slot machines (many variations)
• Let It Ride
• Caribbean Stud
• 5-card Poker
• 3-card Poker
• Many more to come

You can test all of these games, right now at https://showcase.funfair.io . Some are currently testable on the Ethereum test networks.
Regarding mobile functionality: A number of mobile dapp browsers are being built (ciphestatus) – FunFair support these. Their games are built with technology that works in mobile browsers.
FunFair is one of the only projects in the cryptocurrency space that has a working product.

Some Information Regarding Casino Operators:

Casino operators will save significant money on hardware, chargebacks, and operational headcount. The number of physical servers required is reduced as gameplay executes in immutable smart contracts deployed to the ethereum network.
An operator will, at all times, require a reserve of FUN tokens to ensure they are able to accept bets, and cover their liabilities. If, after a period of time, they wish to convert some of their FUN token balance they will have a number of market exchanges which are capable of facilitating this type of transaction.
FunFair is working on the many customization options right now and up until release. You will definitely be able to customize the look and feel. You can add your own graphics, logos, colour schemes, etc. You will also be able to choose which kinds of games are offered, and how they will be laid out.
FunFair fully supports KYC. They’ve built their own KYC technology that’s crypto-friendly. FunFair’s tech will allow each operator to have their own policies on who they exclude and whether they require KYC/AML etc.
A reminder, FunFair isn’t an operator, it’s a technology that operators use, and some will be in countries where they need to do KYC/AML and some will be in countries where they don’t. FunFair’s tech works for all cases and will support the full strength KYC if that operator requires it.

The Past, Present, and Future of FunFair..

FunFair has been consistently networking, and the team have been continually attending blockchain conferences and events. From launching their product to the gaming industry at the International Casino Exhibition in early February, launching their product to the Asian market at G2E Asia, and just recently announcing their industry first game development partner; Spike Games, FunFair is advancing very well, on track and ready for industry disruption.

TL;DR - Read^{thewholething}

Being bored on a cold Friday night after having dental work and maybe it's the hydro-codone kicking in, but I may have connected a few dots that would be SUPER bullish if they prove to play out.
Norbert Teufelberger - Who is this guy you might ask?
Norbert Teufelberger is Chief Executive Officer, Bwin Party Digital Entertainment PLC https://www.bloomberg.com/profiles/people/3327820-norbert-teufelberger
He is also currently a sitting Board Member of GVC Holdings PLC.
GVC Holdings PLC - What is this you might ask?
GVC Holdings PLC is an e-gaming operator in both B2C and B2B markets. The company's line of business includes the provision of internet gaming, sports betting, casino, poker and bingo services.
https://www.bloomberg.com/quote/GVC:LN
Why is this relevant?
GVC Holdings Plc agreed to buy U.K. bookmaker Ladbrokes Coral Group Plc for as much as 4 billion pounds ($5.4 billion) as gambling companies seek greater scale in a business that’s shifting online. A combination of GVC, which owns online gambling platforms including Partypoker and Sportingbet, and betting-shop operator Ladbrokes Coral could spark even more consolidation in the sector. Ladbrokes Coral, whose traditional betting shops in the U.K.’s town centers are fading, would get more exposure to the expanding digital gaming business, while GVC could reach more potential customers for its online platforms.

Maybe it's a stretch...maybe it's the pain killers but you guys do the math...

Hello,
Throwaway for obvious reasons but seeking real help. I had... scratch that have a gambling problem. I am seeking help and getting my finances together making significant steps to fix my debt. I am a full time student and work full time. I have never missed a payment on my car (brand new at the time) which I financed without a co-signer at 22 (full time student at the time as well). My credit score has dropped from 684 in may; this is irrelevant to my question but just don't want the internet to release its fury on me.
So it appears one night, apon losing thousands online gambling on CC. That my bank account was next access. Party Poker has - over $500 in returned/chargeback transactions from instant banking... this is incredible and makes zero sense to me.
My account has an over draft but beyond that nothing wounle be approved. My over draft is nowhere near that amount!
I was sent an email stating the amount apparently owed telling me to clear it at the cashier. This was the only non HTML email and with readable info. Other note: if left unpaid, we reserve the right to suspend and/or close your account and to share this information (together with your identity) with appropriate agencies in order to recover the debt, which could have a negative impact on your credit.
Since I have gotten 2 more emails - subject second reminder but the email is all In black and link that is white on black clickable says bwin.com/en/account/contact but when clicked goes to URL da.partycasino.com/?wm=2910110 . This appears to just be partycasino front page in Dutch.
I received a call from no caller Id. They left a voicemail stating this is a call for ms [correct last name] regarding your online gambling party poker account from GVC group. Please contact us back by calling the toll free number online.
I found this strange as annoymous call and no number left. Gvc group search online brands gvc holdings PLC - 'multinational online sports betting and gambling group.
If I do not pay them or contact them how will it affect me? Do they have a right to put it on my credit or what legal rights do they have over me?

Hello, I am from Canada

My credit score has dropped from 684 in may; this is irrelevant to my question but just don't want the internet to release its fury on me.
So it appears one night, apon losing thousands online gambling on CC. That my bank account was next access. Party Poker has - over $500 in returned/chargeback transactions from instant banking... this is incredible and makes zero sense to me.
My account has an over draft but beyond that nothing wounle be approved. My over draft is nowhere near that amount!
I was sent an email stating the amount apparently owed telling me to clear it at the cashier. This was the only non HTML email and with readable info. Other note: if left unpaid, we reserve the right to suspend and/or close your account and to share this information (together with your identity) with appropriate agencies in order to recover the debt, which could have a negative impact on your credit.
Since I have gotten 2 more emails - subject second reminder but the email is all In black and link that is white on black clickable says bwin.com/en/account/contact but when clicked goes to URL da.partycasino.com/?wm=2910110 . This appears to just be partycasino front page in Dutch.
I received a call from no caller Id. They left a voicemail stating this is a call for ms [correct last name] regarding your online gambling party poker account from GVC group. Please contact us back by calling the toll free number online.
I found this strange as annoymous call and no number left. Gvc group search online brands gvc holdings PLC - 'multinational online sports betting and gambling group.
If I do not pay them or contact them how will it affect me? Do they have a right to put it on my credit or what legal rights do they have over me?
Again I am from Canada so that may play a part.
