It's not clear how to proceed from $$\int_{0}^{\infty}\log u\frac{\sinh(u)}{\cosh(u)^{2}}du,$$ although it is a rather nice form.

Here are some equivalent forms: Since $\text{sech}^{-1}(x)=\log\left(\frac{1}{x}+\sqrt{\frac{1}{x^{2}}-1}\right),$ we are trying to evaluate $$\int_{0}^{1}\log\left(\text{sech}^{-1}(x)\right)dx.$$ Let $u=\text{sech}^{-1}x$ so that $x=\text{sech}(u)=\frac{1}{\cosh(u)}.$ Then $dx=d(\frac{1}{\cosh(u)})$ , and we are looking at $$-\int_{0}^{\infty}\log ud\left(\frac{1}{\cosh(u)}\right)$$ which equals $$\int_{0}^{\infty}\log u\frac{\sinh(u)}{\cosh(u)^{2}}du.$$ Using integration by parts, this becomes $$\lim_{a\rightarrow0}\left(\log a+\int_{a}^{\infty}\frac{\text{sech}(x)}{u}du\right).$$

comment How many $p$-adic numbers are there?
@PatrickDaSilva: You need to check that the map is well defined. It also gives two surjections, not two injections.

I am deleting the comments regarding the inappropriate username on this thread. The original username, and description, were not appropriate at all, and have been changed to something less offensive. They have been recorded in a previous deleted comment.
