This can't be.
A catalyst needs an intimate contact with the material they need to catalyze.
Even more so if we are talking about transmuting Ni to Cu.
The nickel powder is in contact with hydrogen. This hydrogen envelope is called cold dusty plasma. The carbon/potassium “secret catalyst” seeds the hydrogen envelope with Rydberg matter and this matter floats around in the hydrogen envelope until the Rydberg matter gets to the nickel powder.
To provide a simple analogy, if the secret catalyst produced “smoke” at the center axis of the reaction vessel, over time the hydrogen envelope would get smoky; or full of smoke. The smoke would completely fill the reaction vessel. It is the smoke that causes the reaction with the nickel powder.

"Plasma" at 500 Celsius?
Rydberg atoms will generate a cold plasma (Ionize hydrogen molecules) using coherent dipole-dipole interactions at long distances. This is what a great spill over catalyst is supposed to do. The “secret catalyst” generates Rydberg matter which in turn generates loads of hydrogen ions.

You can't get a plasma with an electric heater, nor at the temperatures we are talking about.
Did you also take care to check at what temperature a carbon coating will burn up?
Finally, are we really going to to discuss nuclear transmutation of Nickel through a smoke of hydrogen using theoretical "exotic matter" with a gap of "even" few mm?
That would be a discovery of several orders of magnitude bigger than cold fusion.
All this theorizing is useless without some real data.

Yes, I have been also wondering if it could be some type of "smoke" that is actually generating those results.... [/Sarcasm]

True, but I do not think that this is the case.
Certainly I see no way of it coming about in the Rossitron.

That would be an insane, considering the Rossi won't cooperate with any investigation. An investigator can only see the outside hocus-pocus, but not a peek inside the workings of the apparatus. A congressional investigation might be fooled, or might conclude there simply isn't enough information. No falsification is possible. Why can't you see?
Under the scenario where no falsification is possible, a small percentage of investigators will either be fooled or simply cooperate, providing an instance of false verification of legitimacy. Those investigators whom conclude there is not enough information simply are put to the wayside.
I've seen Kreskin use this technique in a stage show; It was very entertaining, as are these threads about Rossi on talk polywell.

With the help of catalyst you can not ionize gas at temperature bellow ionization limit. Only via heating or ionizing radiation.
Then may be you can get with cooling of existing plasma and further magnetization the Coulomb or other types of crystals.
And certainly that is not nuclear reaction at 500 Celsius. That’s fraud.
If they discovered new reaction or phenomenon let's investigate that before. On today's level of knowledge nuclear reaction at 500 degrees impossible. Nickel should not be considered at all.
Only if aliens haven't given Rossi the magic powder (“secret catalyst”) allowing to gain energy from everything.
