Now a days there are so many coins available in the market some of them are based on bitcoin technology and some of them are based on ethereum, if I am developing a website which is dealing with both of them how would I determine which coin is based on which technology because both the technologies have different daemon commands and different jsonRPC

Just go to the github project and try to find out if it's a fork of Bitcoin or if it's a fork of Ethereum, it should be easy to see by looking at the branches and where the project comes from, also usually the ANN thread here in Bitcointalk (every alt has an ANN thread) should contain this information and if not you can ask directly to the developers.

You can rule out eth by going to https://etherscan.io/ and searching for the coin.

ShapeShift has some easy to use REST API's and you can pass it an address and say
what type of coin that you think it is and it will return invalid if it is wrong.

Url looks something like https://ShapeShift.io/API/ValidAddress/BTC/abcdefg12345.............

Well that's the lazy mans way of testing but should work fine from Java-script


Mining is CPU-wars and Intel, AMD like it nearly as much as big oil likes miners wasting electricity. Is this what mankind has come too.
