Hi its been over a week and a half that I had an incoming bitcoin transaction and its stuck in the block. Can any kind miner add this transaction to their block . Funny enough it has a 0.0005 BTC fee attached with it I wonder why its taken so long .

Because your fee is just far too low. 0.0005 btc fee is low even if your transaction was only 226 bytes (1 input, 2 outputs)... that would equate to a fee of only 221.238938 sats/byte. If your transaction size is any larger, your fee gets even smaller.

You need to learn to calculate and use fees in sats/byte (or BTC/kb) as that is what miners care about.

Current recommended fees (350+ sats/byte) can be found here:

Could you post the TXid of the transaction here?
Also try adding it to https://www.viabtc.com/tools/txaccelerator/ this transaction accelerator.

Also, you could try messaging quickseller or macbook-air to get it confirmed (though you do have to pay for this service).
