I initially commented on ways of faking and detecting the January
setup in Physorg (posting as alanf777):

but discussion there has died down.
My basic methodology of eliminating fakes is to presume that the
ENTIRE unobserved structure is made up of the fake material, and then
calculate how long you would have to run it at the observed power
levels to exhaust the material.
The December/January test was so short that a number of fakes could
have done it.
For the February test (I wonder if Levi will issue a report) only ONE
of my candidates is still in the running.
I've just finished writing this up at
http://lenr.qumbu.com/ (just an index page) and a first draft is at:
How to Make and Detect a FAKE Rossi/Focardi eCAT LENR
http://lenr.qumbu.com/fake_rossi_ecat_v1.php
I've tried to identify who first proposed each specific fake.
If anyone's interested, I'll continue updating it. Any comments are
appreciated (directly or in this thread.)
