I'm not sure when they wrote this paper, but this is no longer true. There's some very nice official developer documentation up at: https://bitcoin.org/en/developer-documentation

Also, the Bitcoin Wiki itself is a fairly comprehensive source of documentation (and covers most of the information in the "official" documentation). It even includes an informal protocol specification[1]. It's been around for a very long time.

That said, the information they're referring to is Bitcoin's Tor support (like recognizing OnionCat addresses). I don't think there is much documentation on this specific topic. However, Bitcoin is an open source project and I'm sure any related documentation contributions would be welcome.

According to the site it was submitted Oct 22, 2014. So yesterday. It's still an interesting read and I'm sure it holds validity but this bothered me.
