The transactions view does not load for the genesis block. It just shows "Loading Transactions..." forever.

Tested on both Firefox and Chromium. Screenshot included. genesisblockinsight

I suppose we could just hard code the info for the genesis block.

We can make it a config option so that testnet and altcoin forks could specify their respective genesis block information.
