I say yes.
It has long term support, new software in the standard repo (e.g. node 0.10.x) that's working out of the box (only remember to install nodejs-legacy along with nodejs and npm) and soon enough everybody will be migrating to 14.04...

Should I upgrade my server to Ubuntu 14.04? -
Can't set up NodeBB@lukelarris I run into the same issue in 14.04 server too. You need to install nodejs-legacy through apt and it's running well then
-
Need help installing NodeBB on Open ShiftI hope that helps!
And BTW, have you used OpenShift before? Could you give some feedback on it? -
Bitcoin/cryptocurrencies support -
Bitcoin/cryptocurrencies supportIt would be super awsome if NodeBB would have a module that would allow to tip users (something like on reddit) or just award them for the posts.
The way I see it:- using Kapitalize npm module - can connect to almost any cryptocurrency daemon through RPC connection
- upon registration every user would be given custom-generated bitcoin/altcoin address (easy with Kapitalize)
- in the user page user's bitcoin address would be shown with current balance and withdrawal possibility
- in every post an icon to tip - when clicked it would show a dialog to get the amount of the tip
And more advanced features:
- it would notify user of tip received
- it would show from what user the tip is from (based on bitcoin address?)
It's just my dream I hope you see the potential in this...
I'll try to make it myself, but I'm a poor nodejs programmer.
Cheers!
