I guess I'm just not cut out for cryptomining. I don't seem to be able to make any headway - just flushing money down the toilet

Winminer is interesting, but after having a fiddle with it yesterday and then a couple of other miners from it, it's only really a nice front end and pool behind it!

I managed to get my 4 x GTX 970 rig from 1100 on ETN to ~1600 using a couple of the Windows miners and that's not overclocking as so far i've yet to figure out what ETN really needs in terms of clock/memory and my Win10 rig is a bit strange overclock compared with reasonable ease on Ethos!

You can do better than the EASY miners, it can take a bit of time to set-up but once you've got the hang of configuring a miner, it's not that hard.....Most need just need pool and ID

Signing up to a pool is pretty easy. Try https://www.suprnova.cc/ for a multi-pool and then you have the same details for quite a few coins. It's reasonably sized you tend to get shares often, if not massive!

Most pools also suggest miners and have download links and configuration help, though I often do a net search and end up the bitcointalk.org page for the miner / coin as there are so many guides

You can use https://whattomine.com/ to figure out what is profitable, though go for a coin that you have a pool and wallet for. I've found the coinomi android app a great multicoin wallet and ideal for short term holding!

What's up with the Vega.....looks a cool card, if a little new. Must be plenty of people using them, so it's certainly possible ???
