    Merge MAC verification when using wormhole
    
    So far the QR code was pretty much public information. It did not really contain information that 
compromises your security. Now with wormhole that changes, because it contains the key we chose for the 
wormhole channel. We base the security of the transfer on the security of scanning the barcode. It is still 
public and an attacker getting hold of the QR code before the user can scan it can now cause a DoS. But 
that's still better than being able to inject arbitrary keys.
