If you’re not implementing a cryptocurrency then how will you incentivize folks to host instances?

What DID are you using? Is it unique to AT or something more widely available?

Any tips for getting an invite to Bluesky for us nerds on here?

People do all sorts of things without cryptocurrency as an incentive

They host Mastodon instances, contribute to OSS, edit Wikipedia etc etc

Mastodon is not very popular. Contributing to OSS and Wikipedia is a time investment and not a capital contribution.
