Bitcoin mining is now a specialized and very risky industry, just like gold mining. Amateur miners are unlikely to make much money, and may even lose money. Bitcoin is much more than just mining, though!

Interesting paper. While I wonder how easy it is find suiteable routes for DoSing LN in practice I guess we'll see soon enough now that this paper has been released.

It's also always nice to see a paper that ends with proposed solutions that do not include an attempt to push a new pre-mined alt coin. Also mitigation seems to be mostly tweaking some parameters with existing LN implementations and safeguards that seem relatively straight-forward to implement -- eg. loop avoidance, as mentioned in the paper -- so we're not utterly doomed yet. It goes to show that we're still in early stages though.
