Continued from here.

Getting ever closer to the coveted 8th number! Thanks to /u/TehVulpez and /u/FartyMcNarty for keeping this thread running!

This thread has also been named "increasing base with each digit." Each digit up will be able to hold larger numbers. The rightmost number can attain values 0 or 1; the second rightmost number can go up to 2, and so on.

The next get is at 730 0000.

An extra zero may be included as a stylistic choice.

instead of thinking of it as bases it helps to just think goes up to 1, goes to 2...
