Not being worked on.

Or perhaps it is, for example namecoin.

Satoshi's idea of one CPU, one vote, is undermined by dedicated 
hardware, one FPGA, one vote.

Also, we would like a global database that could handle more material 
than the bitcoin database, which is creaking under the strain.

Two useful activities for a global irreversible database:  Record 
payments, resulting in conserved money, record  mappings between names 
and public keys, making sure they are the same for everyone.

Not happy with Satoshi's solution, but, on the other hand, he has a 
solution and I do not.
