NIP-15
======
End of Stored Events Notice
---------------------------
`draft` `optional` `author:Semisol`
Relays may support notifying clients when all stored events have been sent.
If a client sets `eose_notice` field to `true` in any of the filters in a `REQ` message and the relay supports this NIP, the relay MUST send the client a `EOSE` message in the format `["EOSE", <subscription_id>]` which indicates that all stored events matching the filters specified have been sent and all events from on are newly published events.
Example Subscription Filter
---------------------------
The following provides an example of a filter that requests the `set_metadata` (`0`) event(s) of a pubkey and requests the server to send an end of stored events message.
```
{
"kinds": [0],
"authors": ["52b4a076bcbbbdc3a1aefa3735816cf74993b1b8db202b01c883c58be7fad8bd"],
"eose_notice": true
}
```
Client Behavior
---------------
Clients SHOULD use the `supported_nips` field to learn if a relay supports end of stored events notices. Clients MAY send filters with `eose_notice` to any relay, if they are prepared to not receive a message from relays that do not support this NIP.
Motivation
----------
The motivation for this proposal is to reduce uncertainty when all events have been sent by a relay to make client code possibly less complex.
