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.

Yes, keeping it open will make sure that your transaction does not get forgotten by the network as the client will rebroadcast it from time to time. For the future it also helps to keep the client open for a while before you send a TX (more than just syncing) this allows it to collect enough other TX to make a good judgement on how high the fee should be.

Hope this doesn't take forever, it's still unconfirmed

edit: jesus it finally confirmed, again, thanks for the info man!

in the future consider paying 0.0001

it is about 2.6 - 2.8 cents worth paying.

Bitcoin core is usually pretty good in determining a good enough fee adjusted to the current situation on the blockchain. It just needs so time to gather data. IIRC there is a small warning about this. Maybe it should be more prominent.
