Re: Why are whales not exploiting current situation with...
Just had a look on HitBTC and seeing the same wall... still new to all this but could that be done by one person to hold the price up while Bitcoin surges up and other alts are taking a drop? Sort of a way to block others from selling? i.e. put enough in there that you know based on trading volume it won't get eaten up until the BTC surge has plateaued? But then what... would they start break it off in smaller chunks to sell just below that or just remove them from the book and trading continues without a big sell off because the panic is over? Like I say completely new to this so just trying to watch and learn how order books get played 
When I tried to create a private key I found that I was being asked for a password. I don't remember ever setting a password for the wallet
When you select the "Export private key" option from MultiBit Classic... it "prompts" for 2 different passwords.One is the "wallet" password. If your wallet listed on the left hand side of the MBC window doesn't have a little padlock, it ISN'T password protected, you can leave the box empty.

The other is the "encryption" password to use for the export file. You need to leave this empty, otherwise the export file will be encrypted and you won't be able to open it up and read your private keys.

Hi HCP, sorry to jump in on this as I'm in the same situation this evening too and read your helpful explanation. Mine is showing a lock so requiring a password to export the private key... but it's been nearly 3 years since I set this up...
So my question is, would that be a password I chose or that Multibit assigned for me? If it's assigned then I think I'm screwed because I can't find anything saved anywhere... if I chose it myself I'll keep trying variations I've used over the years.
Thanks so much
