Just wait or create another transaction with higher fees and broadcast it.

I tried sending BTC, but it's been at 0/unconfirmed since 9AM. It's now 12PM. I included a tax fee of 0.00000591 BTC. Is this normal? Is there any way to speeding this up?

I'm using bitcoin core

0.00000591 BTC is a low priority fee, minimun to get high priority is 0.0001 btc, just wait, it will be confirmed sooner or later

Its 0.0001BTC/kb.

How would I do that?

Bitcoin core determines it for you as it figures out the size (in bytes) of the TX. Whether this is normal depends on the things you did not share yet. Whoever receives the bitcoins could try "child pays for parent" to speed things up, but there is no guarantee that it works and its pretty advanced currently.

#1 Are you willing to share the transaction id? If so it would be easier for us to help you. If not that is fine as well, we just have to do more guessing.
#2 Regardless of #1: on what setting did you put the slider that goes from fast (1 block) to normal (25 blocks) or did you set a custom fee?
#3 Regardless of #1 or #2 did you extensivly use faucets in the past? This might result in many tiny (in BTC) inputs that make your TX very large.

I have a total of 6 send/receive in my history. In the slider when I went to send, I checked both recommended and send with 0 fee if possible.

Recommonded on which setting? Is the slider to the left or the right or more to the middle?

If I currently set it to the most left and slowest, "normal", 25 blocks setting the recommended fee is 0.00005242 BTC/kb. Assuming by your "total of 6" statement I would guess that your tx is ~250 byte which would make a low fee 1310 satoshi according to my client.

If I currently set it to the most right and fastet, "fast", 1 block setting the recommended fee is 0.00044344 BTC/kb. Assuming the same size a high fee would be 11086 satoshi.

Your fee is significantly below my lowest estimated fee which either means that your client did not have enough data to properly judge what a good fee is or the network changed to quickly for it to adapt.

In all cases, waiting while your client is open will get your TX confirmed.

Yeah, the slider was all the way to the left. The sending amount was .16.
So pretty much just keep my bitcoin core open? Thanks for your help btw.

I checked blockchain.info and my transaction is there. It's just taking a century to confirm.
