Each block is stacked on top of the previous one. Adding another block to the top makes all lower blocks more difficult to remove: there is more "weight" above each block. A transaction in a block 6 blocks deep (6 confirmations) will be very difficult to remove.

What is that? I'm guessing no since you need expensive specialized equipment. Forget mining bitcoin as its not really profitable for newbs so just mine a alt if you really want to mine but I'd suggest leaving mining alone all together and earning bitcoins in different ways.

That's only a flash card (aka memory), what would you do with that??

No you can't, you need CPU and/or specific hardware.

If I can suggest quit mine Bitcoin. Take another hobby.

i am still thinking that is used to process the data.

idk why i did this, but yeah, i really wanna ask.
A CompactFlash (CF) card is a popular memory card developed by SanDisk in 1994 that uses flash memory technology to store data on a very small card. It has no moving mechanical parts and does not need a battery to retain data. CF cards allow users to add data to a wide variety of computing devices.

Obviously it wouldn't be fast / profitable / etc.  But you only asked if it can.

Select CompactFlash cards (that don't use a dedicated controller but a generic uC) might be able to mine bitcoin, but I'm doubting it.  I'm not even sure if you could do it with the more capable ones SD cards.  You would certainly have a hard time addressing them, though.
For some points, see:
it turns out that every flash memory disk ships with a reasonably powerful microcontroller [...] The embedded microcontroller is typically a heavily modified 8051 or ARM CPU. In modern implementations, the microcontroller will approach 100 MHz performance levels, and also have several hardware accelerators on-die.

No you can't.

With difficult bitcoin which increased, even mine with CPU/GPU is useless, better to use hardware with a lot hash but your electric bills is a problem. My advice is mining altcoin or stake it.

Even with newest ASIC, it's still difficult to get profit
built-in processor in compactflash or USB miner only give you few satoshi Sad

You better mine altcoin or try cloud mining

You cannot. CompactFlash is for storing data, not processing data. There is a tiny little microprocessor on the card that could possibly mine, but the amount of time and effort to reprogram that chip is not worth it and furthermore, that chip is probably specifically designed to do one thing, so you could not change it to mine at all.
