This is to 8 as A176763 is to 3 and as A030001 is to 2.

FORMULA
a(n) = MIN{A001018(i) such that n in decimal representation is a substring of A001018(i)}.
a(n) = 8^A062525(n). - Michel Marcus, Sep 30 2014
EXAMPLE
a(1) = 1 because 8^0 = 1 has "1" as a substring (not a proper substring, though).
a(2) = 512 because 8^3 = 512 has "2" as a substring.
a(3) = 32768 because 8^5 = 32768 has "3" as a substring.
