It can also be overcome using VPNs

I run a non-Bitcoin web site and use browser fingerprinting to detect the same user using different accounts. They can use VPNs, TOR, proxies, etc. but if they use the same computer/browser they will have the same fingerprint. No need to check IPs, which is useless in many cases anyway, e.g. for some companies if you log in from work 10,000 people share the same IP address.

Freaking wow!
I checked your site and tested my System , the data it showed about my PC , Really too much.
Any ways to avoid this?

With JavaScript:

Code:
Your browser fingerprint appears to be unique among the 5,095,957 tested so far.

Without JavaScript (FF plugin NoScript):

Code:
Within our dataset of several million visitors, only one in 48,075 browsers have the same fingerprint as yours.

Default Tor:

Code:
Within our dataset of several million visitors, only one in 10,253 browsers have the same fingerprint as yours.

Use different browsers for different accounts. It may solve from detecting your alts.

It will be useful to avoid having same finger print.
What i was asking is how to about sites (like the one just above) to get our data from any of our browsers.

Disable JavaScript and the only thing left is your OS and your browser version. Both can be faked with additional plug ins.
