I'm new to cryptocurrencies in general as well, and I can't tell what currency is the most secure, or going to have most value.

I'm excited about a cryptocurrency called Gridcoin, it's a PoS and PoR (Proof of Stake, Proof of Research) currency based on BOINC.

Proof of Stake means that your ability to mine a block depends on your balance. The more coins you have the easier it is. Think of it like interest rate in a bank account.
Proof of Research means that the person with the most magnitude (gained by participating to BOINC projects) mines blocks the easiest.

You can find a better explaination on their site, http://gridcoin.us/. If you want to participate by using BOINC you need to acquire some coins from a faucet and wait to enter the blockchain. If you want to gain interest, you can buy Gridcoin on an online currency exchange such as c-cex. The site goes into detail regarding the setup.

Remember to encrypt, and backup your Gridcoin wallet! You don't want to lose your coins! Also, remember to update often as Gridcoin is constantly in development.
