My bet is he will just refuse.
This whole thing is played on Rossi's terms. He will not allow it to be
played on those of others. Unless he really needs the money. Or when it
(coincidentally?) fits perfectly with his own terms.
So, normally, I would expect his reaction to be: "I've said before that
I will do no more independent tests. Just like other citizens you will
have to wait to collect your e-Cat from the production line in a year or
so, then we will see who was right".

Rossi's reactions (his own, not those from the core of the E-cat)
In this case my bet is that now he will ask more money, 2 or 3 million
US$ for a 'perfect" test.
Let's see!

Better still, if Smith is convinced the e-cat is not real, why not

the $1M to a worthy cause if it's not verified by end of 2012?

Otherwise, it's hard to be sure he's not a flamboyant publicity
seeker.
