Use weights to split the total amount instead of random choice #44

The distribution of payout is can be done via Coinbase without any fee between wallets:

We do not charge for transferring cryptocurrency from one Coinbase wallet to another [1]

Since no fees are created OpenSelery could use the Coinbase API for micro-transaction. In this way we could avoid the random choice function.

Split or Random choice should be configurable for every contributor type ( Target Project, Dependency contributor and tooling contributor)

Pro

OpenSelery does not look like gambling
OpenSelery is much more deterministic and transparent.

Con

This approach does not work with Paypal in this same way with a standard account. Only transactions between "friends" are for free.
For larger projects the minimum amount to payout should be limited.
The approach does not work for including dependencies. Here the random choice function could be a solution.

Make this configurable between random and split
