The Ramanujan nearest-integer conjecture for the prime-counting function

Let RR+\mathcal{R}\subset \mathbb{R}_+ be the Ramanujan set of values xR+x\in \mathbb{R}_+ for which π(x)\pi(x) is the nearest integer to

n=1+μ(n)n li(x1n),\sum_{n=1}^{+\infty} \frac{\mu(n)}{n}\ \mathrm{li}(x^{\frac{1}{n}}) \,,

where π(x)\pi(x) is the prime-counting function, μ\mu is the Möbius function, and li\mathrm{li} is the logarithmic integral. Ramanujan's conjecture. The set R\mathcal{R} contains arbitrarily large numbers. This interprets Ramanujan's claim that his asymptotic formula is generally equal to the prime-counting function up to the nearest integer. The source does not give evidence of a resolution.
