Add an incentive mechanism to motivate runn a server, and hey it's a blockchain. But those have no practical application so it must not be a blockchain..

Yes, that is correct. (Other than the word "must"? I'm not entirely sure your intent there.) This is close to a blockchain in some ways, but a blockchain-style incentive mechanism would be a net negative, so it doesn't have that.

If you figure out a good way to involve an incentive structure like that, let us know!
