Also for checkpoint.txt I just need to paste x coordinates on one line per key and save their private keys?  What else do I need to change on the script?

I appreciate it.

Edit, I got it running, I just need to know what to change for addition and subtraction, should I put values in decimal? And why it won't show anything on screen? Lol it just blinks endlessly.

Here is how to tune script as per your needs:
1. xy.txt file must have x and y coordinates in decimal format with a single space between them, as I clarified earlier.
2. In checkpoints.txt file you don't need to save their private keys, why? that is whole point, because we keep starting 100 million or 1 billion pub keys' x coordinates which will work as 2 billions, so it is obvious that their private keys are from 2 to 1 billion or the last 1 billion.
3. There are 3 things that you can change, step size to be subtracted, number of steps, and number of iterations.
all these are in numbers not in points,
