This link fixed the issue of the masternode. When I read what caused the issue it is concerning though. How can a ./, proposal go through and shuts down all the masternodes

Well, technically the bug was not shutting the masternodes down, it just caused masternodes to fail to vote on a watchdog object.
Dash 12.2 will not have watchdogs anymore, they are deprecated (quote from flare).

Although if people wait too long with implementing this hotfix, they could be forced out of the masternodes payment list and then need to start from
cold wallet again. Luckily most masternode owners responded very fast and implemented the hotfix within a few hours.





 

A reminder that our website over at http://aswp.life can take payments in DASH.

Can anyone recommend a site for auctioning or selling items in DASH?

No plan. Did Bitcoin have a plan to upgrade the reward for Bitcoin mining or to decrease the difficulty when it switched to ASIC mining and got a massive increase in their mining difficulty? No.
It is an adapt and survive mentality in the mining world, a battle of the fittest (or a battle of the strongest and most energy efficient in this case).  
 
There is a plan/concept about changing our proof of work model to keep ASIC miners in check and to subcontract the mining through masternodes but that is for far after Dash Evolution,
and is currently not included on the Dash roadmap (https://github.com/dashpay/dash-roadmap).

Well, let's see

Just this windows 98 style wallet is available for dash?
