Most of these files are exploratory scripts that helped to develop the final script.

The main three files that can be considered the final project are:

 - Detecting_Bitcoin_Ransomware.pdf  (Final report) 
 https://git.disroot.org/shelldweller/ransomware/raw/branch/master/Detecting_Bitcoin_Ransomware.pdf

 - Detecting_Bitcoin_Ransomware.Rmd  (R markdown that generates the report)
 https://git.disroot.org/shelldweller/ransomware/raw/branch/master/Detecting_Bitcoin_Ransomware.Rmd

 - Detecting_Bitcoin_Ransomware.R  (R script that contains the essential code for the modeling process)
 https://git.disroot.org/shelldweller/ransomware/raw/branch/master/Detecting_Bitcoin_Ransomware.R


Everything else can be safely ignored, and is just here so that I can trace my own steps if needed.
