So does this mean Satoshi mined the Genesis block? Meaning, did he actually use computing power to mine the Block? Or was the genesis block instamined when the network went live?
It was mined, along with subsequent blocks.
There was no premine at all in bitcoin.
The difficulty was actually very low so it was very easy to mine.
