have you tried the modifications yet?

Not yet.  In the mean time can you update the production quality of this document to match what Stan produced?

This looks nice, does this contain all information?

crashed on launch... but I may be able to track that down.

How does it know which blockchain to parse?

oh, you are using it in mac so you'll have to direct it to the folder with the data so
 check parser.cpp line 367 to line 381. not sure how to specify for mac though.

Alternative approach instructions are missing google sparse hash map install.

Primary approach is not clear at all on what I should be doing. 

The instructions are not platform independent.

I had to modify the source to compile parser on OS X and after I did get it to compile I got the following error:

Code: [Select]

./parser allBallances --detailed >allptsbalances.txt
warning: "allBallances": unknown command name

Modifications made

Try ./parser allBalances --detailed >allptsbalances.txt

i made a typo.

I plan on testing this out today and will provide feedback when done.

The guide is short and simple, and i'm sure can be followed easily.

feedback please?

Short and simple, fit's the description perfectly. If I got some time this week I'll create a tool derived from this guide to create the genesis block online and export to various (db) formats.

Ground breaking idea!!
thanks for the feedback , please check your inbox.

Use like so - for block 32000 - don't forget to add 1.

   for(int i=0;i<32001;i++){
      processNextBlockIntoGrantDatabase();
   }

yay, you finally came around. check your inbox.
