Can you write what is that hadcoded relay in croc? Who maintains it, how does it handle the increase in demand or outages etc?

I maintain it. Its been up for about 2 years with pretty minimal downtime.

In any case, I encourage everyone to setup their own relay. Its easy. Make sure ports 9009-9014 are open and then run `croc relay`.

Connecting to your relay is as easy as `croc --relay ADDRESS:9009 send X`. And if you add the `--remember` flag you only have to tell it which relay to use once.
