You can jump a Hulk into all except a C1.

You can jump them into anything but a C1, but you shouldn't. Use a Covie for WH mining, 90% the yield for 1/10th the price. And make sure you have an alt or a friend in the system with a probe launcher. It's not fun to fill up 2-3 cans of Ark just to realize that the WH closed while you weren't looking.

I like to use: * StaticMapper * DOTLAN::EVE Maps * DaOpa's Wormhole Database
There are many many more.
Wormholes are an exploration topic, so more info can be found in the Mission & Complexes forum (and its resource sticky at the top of that forum).

I'd 2nd the suggestion of using a covetor instead as nothing makes people happier than blowing up a Hulk in their WH or in any WH for that matter.
You will need a cloaky alt with probe launcher to watch the hole. You could use any industrial for this.

you dont need to watch the hole with a probe launching alt. A quiet wormhole system that is not being controlled (the wormhole is not being respawned by the wormhole residents) can be timed. If a wormholes description says that it is coming to the end of its lifespan the wormhole lasts less then 4 hours, if it is almost anything else then it lasts for more then 4 hours. So, from the moment you read the wormholes description and read anything that isn't "coming to the end of its lifespan" then can be used for the next 4 hours from the moment you red the description.
You can now use that alt to mine or haul instead of watch the wormhole :)

readers digest version; Hulk can fit in C1 but cant come out. If its YOUR c1 its worth it.
Scan system. Close any dynamic holes then close the static.
Launch combat scanner probes.
Kill the rats mine the site.
If it is a c1 keep the hole open but cloak your probe ship 70km from the hole. You will hear anyone come in that hole, and you will see any new holes on the scanner. . Adapt and overcome or become a monkey on an evolution poster.

Just keep in mind if you're planning on mining in holes from the outside it'll be way more trouble than it's worth. You'll need:
1. To scan out holes, jump inside and hope the hole's not camped waiting for you.
2. Put out combat probes in the hole and check for inhabitants. People don't take kindly to others coming in their holes to mine their meager resources.
3. IF the hole's empty, you'll need to scan down and locate a grav site.
4. You'll need to initiate warp to the site to activate it, then go get a combat ship to deal with the rats that will spawn soon.
5. After killing the rats, you'll need to get your mining vessel. Make sure you've marked the juicy rocks already to save time.
6. You're only going to have maybe 12K to 15K total arkonor to mine, good luck. Start mining, but keep clicking on DScan to hopefully see someone coming to kill you. If you see combat probes that aren't yours, leave.
6a. Note: You're exit will likely be someone else's entry. Good chance you'll warp right on top of someone.
Yeah... that seems to cover it I think... find a hole, make sure it's safe, find a grav, clear the rats, mine... all without dying.
You can make more faster with veldspar.

Bear in mind that "only" 12-15k Ark is 7-9 cans worth, or 62-78M+ worth of ore. There's also usually about equal amounts of Bist and Crok. You can only pull out about 2 cans per hour per Covie/Hulk though, so it'll take a while to mine it all (and then even more time once you add in hauling).

True. An awful long time to hang in a hole with an open high entry. I'm thinking on the non-replenishing side of things.

do not believe the lies they are telling you.
Wormhole mining is perfectly safe. Hitting the scan button does nothing, as you wont see us the pirates coming in stealth bombers anyway.
You can get rich in wormholes, especially class 3 ones which have giant roids and no pirates at all. Its best to look for one with POS's in them, since you know that the nice locals will chase the bad pirates away.
Under no circumstances should you bring a covert ops alt, since they can do the hauling for you and make you life much easier.
Lastly, always come with the full t2 fit (strip miners, crystals et all) or you are wasting our your time otherwise.
