I got a coinbase transaction and I don't know where it comes from

0

I received a small payment from a coinbase transaction, but I haven't been mining nor I have signed up on a mining pool. Does this happen when someone accidentally sets my address instead of theirs when they mine? I think the probability for that to happen is pretty low.

Do you have a tx hash?Raghav Sood 2018-08-09T17:48:46.633

I sorted it out and posted an answer. Didn't want to post the tx hash due to privacy reasons.Paul Razvan Berg 2018-08-09T17:50:24.570

Interestingly, it was a withdrawal from earn.com I made a few months ago which I forgot about. Wondering if they mine on their own.

Possibly, but whoever was mining also owned the coins Earn.com used to spend to you, unless the miner didn't want all of the reward (not likely).JBaczuk 2018-08-09T17:58:40.010
