Accidently sent bitcoin to first genesis block, any way to get it back?

[Buffer Overflow]

One thing I intentionally do every time I send Bitcoins or Litecoins is verify the the address at least visually (first set of bits and last set).

Hasn't failed me once yet.

Almost always copy paste addresses, then verify visually.

This is a good habit to get into.

IIRC, the genesis block coinbase is not spendable. So, not even Satoshi could send them back to you.

The "coinbase" isn't but all the other (non-coinbase) UTXOs are (i.e. only the initial 50 BTC can't be spent).

Thanks for clarifying.

I'm not sure how this false statement appeared but it's now 4 years old and still living...

The first 50 BTC produced in the genesis block are not spendable, that's not false. But other UTxO sent to the same address are, that was my confusion. (see CYAM's post above)

That's why I quoted the false part and not the correct one

Ha, people still praise how Bitcoin has no fees and can't be attacked by the government.
