Why should trivial solutions be excluded by principle (not only for this
sequence, but in general)?  I think that if one wants a sequence of
"nontrivial solutions", this should be a second auxiliary sequence.

You may have overlooked the requirement that multiples share a *nonzero*
digit.

By the way, which digit it is (or which they are) could also be
interesting.  It looks like it will most often be 9.

As with my previous intervention here, and as often with "base" sequences,
looking at the situation in smaller bases could be interesting (here base 2
is trivial, but already base 3 can be interesting).
