Erdős problem 315

Let u1=1u_1=1 and un+1=un(un+1)u_{n+1}=u_n(u_n+1), so that ∑k≥11uk+1\sum_{k\geq 1}\frac{1}{u_k+1} and uk=⌊c02k+1⌋u_k=\lfloor c_0^{2^k}+1\rfloor for k≥1k\geq 1, where c0=lim⁡un1/2n=1.264085⋯ .c_0=\lim u_n^{1/2^n}=1.264085\cdots. Let a1<a2<⋯a_1<a_2<\cdots be any other sequence with ∑1ak=1\sum \frac{1}{a_k}=1. Is it true that lim inf⁡an1/2n<c0=1.264085⋯?\liminf a_n^{1/2^n}<c_0=1.264085\cdots?
