Yeah. You don't generate a list. You have make automatically dd 16 bytes from /dev/random, pipe it through hexdump, and then use that as your seed. You don't even have to check for dupes. There are 3.4 * 10^38 possible keys; You will not pick the same one twice.
That way, you can't even accidentally reuse a seed in development, or leak that list of the previously used seeds. When something compromises the system, and you don't need it any more, it should be destroyed.
