contents For fixed positive reals $t$ and $α$, consider the sequence $S_t(α) = (s_1, s_2, \ldots, )$ with $s_n = \left \lfloor tα^n \right \rfloor$. In 1964, Graham managed to characterize those pairs $(t, α)$ with $0 < t < 1$ and $1 < α< 2$ for which every large enough integer can be written as the sum of distinct elements of $S_t(α)$. We show that his methods can be applied to deal with many other pairs of $(t, α)$ as well.
