Ok, thanks.

I realised, that the pad struct stuff does not make sense, because when
the keygen function returns it has only initialised the creation and no
keys are generated yet. These pads have to be set with the "finished"
signal. So we should delay that feature for 0.3.0 too.

I have planed to create an '/otp scan' command (in 0.2.0), but that
currently leads to problems when a key is being created in parallel. A
broken key would be loaded. To fix that, the key generator should use a
random filename while collecting entropy and rename the file on completion.
