Good idea but you need tighter and way more specific criteria for how the bet can be won or lost. Widely accepted is sort of vague and loose. How about:
- said to have been properly tested and said to work by fusion or LENR as advertised and with the net energy quotient quoted by Rossi (6:1 or better) for prolonged periods (weeks or months) by not less than two major US universities or government labs as an official pronouncement with appropriate news articles appearing in major newspapers and the AP wires. - or marketed by fortune 500 companies or their equivalent in size -- after more than 10,000 people have purchased the item and have had it for at least 3 months with no significant numbers of complaints have been lodged that it does not meet specifications. Or something like that.
