So basically, you talk about stride option in already existing tools.

Skipping the keys or searching n times is not the same as changing the curve.
Then explain the difference please.

I looked at the piece of code you wrote above, looks like it works like BSGS algorithm, with a very naive implementation.
The first thing that you should do, it is remove curve multiplication at all and replace it with subtraction.
I'm talking about this part: PublicKey = getPublicKey(Seq_Bytes)
Every call of "getPublicKey" is very expensive, no matter which point you're uses as "G".
Just take another point (G*100) as a stride and subtract it from current point on each step. Than you will get 6000, 5900, 5800, 5700 and so on with a great speed improvement.
