That is not a 130-bit test, it's a 25-bit range, so the search is for a 25-bit private key that starts from some 130-bit offset (which size's is irrelevant).

25 bit is crackable in less than a second even if using slow-as-shit Python script, which is thousands of times slower than some native fast code.

It only takes around 5000 or so point additions to find the key.
