is this worth submitting?

[Andrew Weimholt]

If x^0 is considered a power of x, then the sequence becomes

1, 2, 6, 12, 25, 85, 194, 590, 1695, 4879, 19077, 83994, 167988, 1041780

which as it turns out is already in the OEIS as A034875

Currently, only terms up to 1695 are listed, so the sequence should be extended (any volunteers?).

Yes.

How much difference does it make it x^0 is considered to be a power of 
x?  It looks like the 24 is the first change.

P.S. Note that x^y is generally used in the OEIS instead of x**y.

   smallest positive integer which is not a sum of powers of distinct 
previous
terms

1, 2, 6, 12, 24, 54, 108, 246, 510, 1218, 2742, 6930, 16242, 47706, 
144018

(Note: x**0 = 1, is not considered to be a power of x)
