New update to tally.php available, containing an automatic resume feature allowing it to continue from where it last stopped, to avoid having to start from block 1 each time a list is generated. tally.php will now also save its progress for later if the user aborts the script with ctrl+c.
Give it a try and let me know if you notice any warnings or errors, or inaccurate results.
Working great! I modified it to include my code (for formatting output) and it's syncing every time (after multiple screwups with the html..). Thanks for the great generator. Wasn't expecting an update so soon.
That depends on how many unique addresses tally.php encounters. Each stored address uses less than 80 bytes in the progress array, so stretching this to the limit we can say that 1000 addresses yields a progress file of 80kb; 1 million addresses yields a progress file of 80mb (think large chains like Bitcoin or Litecoin).
Real example: the progress file of the Solcoin chain, with 121992 addresses at block 95756, is 5.4mb in size.
Ok, it doesn't seem to take up much space at all. That's perfect. Also, the feeling of not having to wait 1 hour between formatting tests is awesome!
