Comment (by Jaym):

 woups, yes currently it would start at 0 every time, which is bad.
 Recalculation based on the last sampled_idx from the state file + 1 should
 be good.

 I would recommend the short proposal to include the required change over
 the confirmed list (i.e., this list needs sorting by sampled_idx instead
 of confirmed_idx). So this patch would need to handle that as well.

 I am happy to help on writing a small proposal from my email, and I can
 pick up whatever is left  from your bullet list starting from January (I
 am bit busy for these next two months :/).

 Could the proposal includes a kind of "further work" suggestion?
