I do not understand that part.
In fact random mode is 9 times faster (or maybe it is better to say "more effective") than sequential (we test more valid keys), but we have no control over the work performed.
I'm confused now too:In fact random mode is 9 times faster (or maybe it is better to say "more effective") than sequential (we test more valid keys), but we have no control over the work performed.
On my dev card rtx3060 I have performance of about 8mln keys/s, which gives around 30k/s 'valid' keys,
Random mode works quite differently - using GPU we produce bunch of 'valid' keys and then we check all of them. That way we may check much more keys, but we are not able to verify if we do not have duplicates. The corresponding performance is about 600-750k/s.

sequential 8M keys/s
random: 600-750 keys/s

the only benefit would that you may keep your private key in minikey format.
Isn't that cool?
