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).

<p>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.</p>

I sorted it out and posted an answer. Didn't want to post the tx hash due to privacy reasons.

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.

Interestingly, it was a withdrawal from [earn.com](https://earn.com) I made a few months ago which I forgot about. Wondering if they mine on their own.
