Hello,
I am just wandering what happened to the first mined block of BTC back in those days? Is it mined only by Satoshi or is shared with other miners? How much time it took to mine it and with what computer? Some interesting facts which i never saw on the network...

Bitcoin addresses contain a checksum, so it is very unlikely that mistyping an address will cause you to lose money.

The genesis block http://blockexplorer.com/block/000000000019d6689c085ae165831e934ff763ae46a2a6c172b3f1b60a8ce26f
or block 0 or the first one has not been spend. People are actually still sending coins to that address https://blockchain.info/de/address/1A1zP1eP5QGefi2DMPTfTL5SLmv7DivfNa

The Genesis block can't actually be spent because there is no reference block to validate the coins. I'm not sure about the coins sent to the address afterwards. I would think that they could be.
Any significantly advanced cryptocurrency is indistinguishable from Ponzi Tulips.
