Hello everyone,

I want to announce that my new paintball start-up TxT Paintball http://www.txt-paintball.com is now accepting Bitcoin as a payment method!

We supply a wide variety of paintball gear for every style of play. Whether you just want play casual "outlaw" paintball with your friends, or crush the competition as a top-notch tournament player, we've got the gear you need, at the prices you want. From affordable yet reliable markers from Tippmann and Spyder, to precision engineered four-figure markers from Dye, you'll find it here. At TxT Paintball, you'll be dealing with friendly people who love the sport as much as you do, every step of the way!

We're just getting started and will be continually adding products weekly and even daily! Please compare our prices to the mainstream competitors, I think you'll find we meet or beat their prices; and we're the only one (I know of) to accept Bitcoin!

You're really tempting me with that invert mini. I used to play and I always loved the profile and speed of those markers.

This is a one time offer, but if you pay in Bitcoin, I'll honor that coupon and refund 8% after your payment.  ;)

Here I was... Saving all my bitcoins, passing up all these nice deals I see, then you had to come along and screw it all up :)

Great site buddy, and I'm real glad your honoring BTC.  Expect a purchase from me hopefully by the end of the weekend, or possibly Mid Week.


BTW, any idea on estimated shipping time to the Washington DC area ?

Haha, I'm sorry about ruining your savings plan, but I'm glad to hear you like the site.

Obviously this isn't a guarantee, but expect it within 3-5 days. Due to the weight of paintball gear we only offer economy shipping (faster shiping tends to be in the $20 to $60s!). However, shipping to DC usually takes 1-2 days and handling time is usually 1-2 days so it may be quicker.

Let me know if you have any questions!

Any new deals? :)

Yes, I'm working on one right now. I missed last Monday's deal so I'm putting one up now!

hey man, i live in texas and used to play paintball when i was younger. would they let me still use my automag classic?

also, are automag classic parts still easy to get?

or have markers become really cheap and good?

To be honest with you, those were before my time. Most fields would probably let you use it as long as it's a .68 caliber version (it probably is if you don't know). The Automag was quite a big deal in it's time and has/had a loyal fan-base, so I suspect you can still get the parts but you may have to dig around a bit. Airgun Designs (they made the Automag) or some used paintball stores may carry the parts.

New markers have made some major strides since then though, and if you plan on playing much, I'd recommend an upgrade. It's all relative, the Automag was a tournament marker in it's day; I've never shot one, but I suspect modern entry level markers are comparable.

If you just want to play casually every few months (or if you aren't sure and just want something affordable), look into a Spyder ($65-$150). They are cheap and easy to maintain, and despite their simplicity do quite well for casual players. If you like scenario or woodsball play, I'd recommend a Tippmann ($120-$400). Tippmanns are famous for their reliability and wide range of available upgrades. For tournament play, you should look into an Empire or Dye marker such as the Empire Invert Mini ($326), Empire Axe ($500, not added to the site yet but coming soon) or Dye DM13 ($1,299).

Another good option sort of in between is the Tippmann Crossover ($349).

There are lot's of options of course, but that should give you a good idea of what is out there. If you aren't sure, I'd recommend you start out with a Spyder or just give it a shot with the Automag for awhile.

Just make sure (for safety reasons) that your air source (CO2/HPA) has been hydrotested (or buy a new one) and that your mask is in good shape and meets standards, your field should be able to tell you if all of your gear is okay and ultimately it's all up to them (and their insurance company) what is allowed.

Happy Paintballing!

PS: One of the biggest benefits of a new marker may be the shape of the frame, they often have foregrips and are more ergonomically designed than older markers:

This (Tippmann A-5) is the gun I have by the way (With quite a few upgrades). I like it, but it's best suited for woodsball so you are better off with a speedball marker if that's what you prefer.

it looks like i can bring my gun into the current level of excellence

i will let you know what parts i need

edit: jesus that thread is from 2005 hrrmm.

If you like a good project, that sounds interesting! I don't carry those parts though, it looks like you'd have to go through specialty suppliers. I doubt that it would be quite on par with the higher end markers, but personally I like the idea of trying, after all, it's sort of a paintball milestone so bringing it back to life would be neat.

That being said, it appears as if some of those parts are no longer available.

thanks for bringing me up to speed.

proto rail/axe/invert mini all look appetizing. gotta figure out what they are sacrificing to make them at that price point to get the most for my cash.

very glad to know i need to buy a new tank, as my old ones are liable to explode.

will send my business through you one i look at the stuff in person and decide.

No problem,

The Empire Axe and Invert Mini are both nice markers with the main benefit of the Axe being the larger frame. Neither of them really sacrifice much, they just aren't top-of-the-line. These are popular guns for amateur tournament players. Since you haven't played in a long time, I would recommend you go with something like an Axe or Mini instead of spending the money on a four-figure marker, but that's just me.

The Proto Rail gets good reviews but I'm not sure it's on quite the same level as Empire's markers.

Sounds good, let me know if you need anything.

How's our new logo look?

Oh hi, are you the guy I've been talking to about Coingig?  :)

No, probably, Ken, my partner, he handles the business side of things, I do the code. Nice to meet you...

We are going to unroll a pretty significant feature today that allows sellers get the most out of the main page exposure-wise. You will be able to read about it in our thread at the project development board. This is a step towards our vision of becoming a number one platform and getting max revenue to our sellers.

You have very cool quality items by the way. Maybe one day I'll have free time to try paintball.

Nice to meat you as well, I really like Coingig and can't wait to see it grow. You've done a great job of making an eye-catching, user friendly platform. Yes, it was Ken I've been talking to.

I'm looking forward to seeing what you've come up with. If you ever do try paintball, let me know and I'll hook you up with a deal.  ;)

PS: Could you allow = in the description?

Naw I grew outta paintball years ago... Hah just kidding..

Glad to see more sales in the Coins, I'll be accepting coins at my pro shop, for what it's worth. no idea if I'll get any sales.
