Mysterious mined coins showing up in my wallet

Hey everyone. I'm wondering if there is anyone else out there that can give me some clues as to whom the IP address that mined this block belongs to:

https://blockchain.info/tx/c031d953b7e414c8128de238b5f9583086f9864d6d2c341dccc0c050d74b27e8

tree view:

https://blockchain.info/tree/100996453

Essentially what happened is I noticed a mined transaction type in my btc wallet, but I do not remember placing my receiving address in any pool or place that could've mined that block. As you can see there are multiple outputs.

I am suspecting KNCMiner, but I could be totally wrong.

Quick sell all BTC, bitcoin is broken. Wink

Why are the new coins divided like that? I thought when it was a pool it went to one address and then got spread out by pool operator?

If you gave knc your btc address, they usually set it up for you mining at eligius with your btc address. You probably mined like that until you had set up the miner to your own pool choices.

Hmm, now that sounds like a very reasonable explanation. I was under the impression that they mined for me on their own pool not Eligius; and yes I did give them my btc address. Ok, that explains it. I just wasn't aware of them using Eligius.

Panic sell! lol j/k

The coins can also be distributed as a generate transaction - ie freshly mined coins. Ckolivas or someone who is more intimate with the inner workings of btc may be better able to explain it.
