Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. the problem is that for a distributed system like this, it is very important for every device to give back as much as it takes other wise the system is not sustainable and everyone loses. its like torrenting without seeding or using public services without paying taxes

Describe the solution you'd like devices running openhaystack have the option (not obligation) to encrypt and upload other devices' location on the find my network, thereby rendering the same service they are avialing

Describe alternatives you've considered no real alternative i can think of. its really just that OHS devices have to mirror the service they are utilizing. do unto other as you would have done onto you. like we woudlnt be giving money away to apple by doing this, we would simply be maintaining the health of a distributed system that we are using
