1. Does Protocol Labs have a mortgage service?
2. How can i extend sectors that are nearing expiration?
3. How does it work for block mining? By what mechanism is it compensated?

Hey @paar13kr!

1. Protocol Labs does not have an internal mortgage service. But there are numerous ecosystem players that offer mortgage service for Filecoin Storage Provider: Like this and a couple other providers are listed in this video.

2. You can extend sectors by following this guide.

3. You are eligible to win block-rewards after you have passed 10TiB in raw power - the amount of block rewards you get are dependent on how much storage power you have in the network. For every block one wins - 25% of the block reward is immediately available - the rest will be vested linearly over the next 180 days.
