I say this knowing full well how many miners are 'casual players' or simply don't read the forums but here is some advice for those that have the gumption to do a little research...
The ultimately smart thing to do would be to do something more profitable, which is pretty much any other activity in New Eden period, but if you insist on mining those asteroids for a living then this is probably worth considering.
If I were a miner I would 'deal' with Hulkageddon in the following ways, not in any particular order.
1. Mine semi afk in a ... (what is it called ... a retriever?) [EDIT: its a Covetor] to reduce lost isk when inevitably ganked
2. Mine semi afk in a battleship. While they can still be ganked, it will cost the baddies way more in ships and you can insure for much closer to your value in hull and if you actually work it out the yield lost compared to a hulk really isnt that different, especially when you factor in the chance of losing your hulk during hulkageddon (or any other time).
3. Mine in gravimetric sites to make them work for their kill and use d-scan to check for probes etc and gtfo if anything suspicious happens.
4. Go mine in low sec and actively check local and start aligning while mining and scan with d-scan and gtfo if needed. Technically its safer than mining high-sec since literally anyone in local is a threat and its a simple tool to use to determine if you are threatened.
s
5. Ugh,,, join a null sec alliance/corp that accepts pure industrialists.
I would not...
1. Try to tank my ship. This provides you safety versus a solo ganker but frankly just makes you more juicy for a gang, of which there are plenty about. It gives a false sense of security. Forget about this, it's utterly futile.
2. Try to pull concord into my belt to help me. Borderline exploit and it can be countered and at any rate it wont stop alpha damage anyway.

See point 4. in my suggestions. It is good advice for those that don't wish to simply mine casually.

If everyone got out of high-sec, noob griefers wouldn't have anyone to attack without putting themselves at risk.
