I've mined for ages at 3.4mh/s and still nothing, yet the only way is to solo mine

Its a solo mining arms race.  You either need to set up a private pool as some people have done (with escrow, mutlisig or other arrangements to prevent theft of mining) or get yourself a bigger rig.  The network hash rate is very high for the likes of your or I with one or two GPUs to burn.

Even your 3.4 mh/s help the decentralization process very much. I plan to mine with this amount of Hash too soon.
Not because I expect to find many blocks, but because it will help the SPR I bought to keep their value, and it will help the decentralization process.

So you have 0.1% of the total hashrate in your control, look at it this way. Keep that up, and buy SPR while they are cheap.

EDIT: if you have an account with a legacy bank you need to pay a monthly fee.
With cryptos you have to pay this fee too, in the form of hashing equipment and electricity. That's how I look at it.

With this hash rate, you should find a block in about a pair of day on average : how long did you mine ? If you have mined more than one week, maybe you have a problem : did you have some rejected block (see in the A and R field in the miner window).

Can you show me in a picture or write up how to setup solo mining for SPR so I can see if I have gone wrong somewhere first ?

Well you don't have any rejected blocks so what you are experiencing is bad luck. Sorry.

Because of the fudders i manage to get 1k more SPR on 25k, nice Thank you !

bought 3K SPR at 17k yesterday
They are not for sale tho, they are going to master nodes

Your hash rate is very low : 3.4 kh/s and not 3.4 mh/s : what is your graphic card ?
At this rate, you will take an eternity to find a block.
Try others settings.

I've mined 4 blocks in the first day with 1xGtx980 @ 5.2mhash and then added -x 32 flag to the miner, hashrate went up to 5.4mhash but since then no accepted shares (for like 1 day now)... could it be that the flag causes rejects? how can i check in the nvidia miner? thanks for help

I thought that the 3.438Kh/s implied that the decimal was 3000KH which is 3MH

I neglected to mention that the act of mining itself helps secure the network even if you aren't making many SPR out of it. Apologies.

It would need to say 3,438 KH/s  (comma) to be 3.438 MH/s (dot)

Yes, I've just worked that out, it seems that I had a DUH ! moment lol

What settings do you recommend for a AMD R9 280x & what intensity ?

AH! I see the problem!!! Your intensity is on 8!

Simply add

Code:

-I 19

to your .bat file.

See the I: 8 on the very right? That should change to 19. You can go higher, to 31 if you want, but that might be worse. I normaly go 21.

Whoa! That's a 280X? It must be seriously damaged  

Intensity is on 8
