We took it as a sign that a survey paper on Bitcoin is desperately needed. Since then we observed the activities of the Bitcoin community. Recently we finished a technical report that is our attempt to contribute the lacking Bitcoin survey. Maybe it will be of interest to some of you: https://eprint.iacr.org/2015/464 Feedback is highly appreciated and would help to improve the quality of future revisions. Cheers, Florian.
